President Joe Biden has made the stunning declaration that he will not seek reelection in 2024. This move comes after Democrats expressed concerns about his age and capacity to serve a second term following a difficult debate performance. Biden stated in a statement issued on Sunday that he will “stand down” and focus on his obligations as President for the balance of his term.
Biden’s decision has harmed what was expected to be a fierce rematch between him and former President Donald Trump. Despite both candidates receiving their party’s nominations, Biden’s poor debate performance against Trump raised questions among Democrats about his capacity to overcome Trump.
