PANews reported on July 19 that OSINTdefender, an open source intelligence detection organization, said on the X platform that there are reports that US President Joe Biden has informed campaign officials that he has decided to withdraw from the current presidential race and will officially announce it before Sunday. Despite his announcement of withdrawal, he is not believed to resign from the presidency or support other candidates, such as Vice President Kamala Harris; instead, the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August is expected to be the first convention to be produced by proxy voting since 1952, and there may be dozens of Democratic candidates vying for the nomination.
