The breaking news came as a shock to many who were steadfast in their support of the Biden-Harris Democratic ticket.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term. I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision", shared President Biden in his official statement.
In his next post on social media, President Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President.
"My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this."

Former President Trump reacted immediately to the announcement by issuing a statement on Truth Social, which was shared by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins. It is advisable to approach this statement with caution, as it likely reflects Trump's personal perspective rather than being grounded in factual basis.
