Biden drops out, throwing the 2024 election into chaos
President Joe Biden said in a statement posted on his social media account he is dropping out of the presidential race — a historic decision that throws the 2024 election into upheaval and marks the latest exit of a presidential incumbent in modern history.
The extraordinary move by Biden to decline the nomination will send shockwaves through the Democratic Party, triggering a frenzied effort to replace him just weeks before the party’s nominating convention. In making the announcement, Biden did not immediately endorse Vice President Kamala Harris or another candidate to be the Democratic nominee.
