Joe Biden opts out of US Presidency race , vice president to be in race

 


U.S. President Joe Biden has made a significant announcement, deciding not to run for the presidential election and withdrawing his candidacy. Speculation had been circulating for days that Biden might step back, and now those rumors have been confirmed with his decision not to run. It is believed that Democrat Kamala Harris might now have the opportunity to become the presidential candidate, although no official announcement has been made yet.


Why did Biden step back?


It is important to note that former President Barack Obama recently advised Joe Biden to withdraw his presidential candidacy. Additionally, several senior Democratic leaders were also encouraging him to step aside. Moreover, Biden's health has been an issue, as he recently tested positive for COVID-19. Considering all these factors, Joe Biden made this significant decision.


In announcing his decision, Joe Biden penned an emotional letter expressing his gratitude to the American people. He detailed all major decisions made during his tenure. In the letter's conclusion, he wrote that it would be in the best interest of his party and the country for him to step back from the presidential race and focus on completing his current term.


Biden's decision has several implications. It is important to understand that in the U.S., once a presidential candidate is declared after the election announcement, it becomes quite difficult to replace them due to various procedural requirements. However, Biden has made it easier for his party, the Democrats, by stepping back voluntarily. The party will soon conduct voting to announce a new candidate.


With this major announcement, Biden has joined a small group of presidents who have voluntarily decided not to run for re-election. The last instance of this happening was in 1968 when Lyndon Johnson chose to withdraw from the presidential race. At that time, Vice President Hubert Humphrey was put forward, but he was defeated badly by Richard Nixon in the election.
