Joe Biden, the current President of the United States, has announced his decision to withdraw from the US Democratic presidential candidate position. The announcement comes after a disappointing performance by Biden in the first presidential debate against his Republican counterpart and former President, Donald Trump. Biden made the statement on social media, stating that he believes it is best for the country and his party for him to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling his duties as President for the remainder of his term.
In the same statement, Biden applauded his very first decision as the party nominee in 2020, which was to pick Kamala Harris as his Vice President. Biden confirmed his full support and endorsement for Harris to be the nominee of their party in this year’s election. Biden urges all Democrats to come together and beat Trump in the upcoming election.
Notably, there have been several calls from the entertainment world for Biden to step down.

This view was echoed by author Stephen King, who suggested that Biden’s resignation was in the “interest” of the country.
