US President Joe Biden addressed the nation. President Joe Biden addressed the nation for the first time since withdrawing from the presidential race and naming Vice President Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate.
From the Oval Office of the White House, on television, Biden told the nation that he was withdrawing from the presidential race to avoid a split in his Democratic Party.
President Joe Biden also requested the American people in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he named as his vice presidential candidate.
Joe Biden is 81 years old. Biden is the oldest president elected to the presidency of the United States. Biden’s first term began in 2021. That term ends in 2024 and since an American president can complete two terms, he can run for the presidential election on November 5. But Biden’s age hindered him.
There was opposition from the Democratic Party that Biden should not continue in the presidency, and this caused a split in the party. Biden was also pressured by former President Obama to withdraw from the presidential candidacy and asked him to nominate someone else.
Last week, Biden was once again diagnosed as infected with ‘Covid 19’. Following medical advice, Biden left the White House and rested at his Delaware home.
The doctors said, Biden returned to the White House after undergoing an antigen test, and it was confirmed that he was no longer infected with ‘Covid 19’ and said, ‘I am now well’.
Biden, who said that he will never withdraw from the presidential candidacy, withdrew amid pressure. Accordingly, Biden will step down from the presidency after his first term ends this year. President Biden also pointed out that if the rival Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump becomes president again, America’s democracy will be destroyed, and instead of allowing that to happen, the victory of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris should be confirmed.
