WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House on Sunday, ending his bid for reelection following a disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about his fitness for office just four months before the election.

The decision comes after escalating pressure from Biden’s Democratic allies to step aside following the June 27 debate, in which the 81-year-old president trailed off, often gave nonsensical answers and failed to call out the former president’s many falsehoods. Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take on Trump, and encouraged his party to united behind her.

    I agree. Best president since Carter. And I didn’t like him at all in the primaries.

      me2 if you mean the first primary. I had a similar thing with my current governor. Not wild about him at first but he won the primary and the general. Was pleasantly surprised at his performance.
