Biden issued a statement on social media that day saying that he had originally intended to seek re-election, but in the best interests of the Democratic Party and the country, he decided to withdraw from the campaign and focus on fulfilling his duties during the remaining term of the president.
Biden then posted on social media that he fully supported the nomination of Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate. He also called on Democrats to unite to defeat Republican presidential candidate Trump.
Biden performed poorly in the first televised debate of the presidential election at the end of June and has since been facing strong pressure from within the Democratic Party. So far, more than 30 Democratic lawmakers have publicly called on Biden to withdraw from the campaign. According to US media reports, Democratic heavyweights such as former President Obama, former House Speaker Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Schumer have also expressed concerns about the Democratic election situation. In addition, some Democratic Party "financial backers" have put their campaign donations on hold, further increasing the pressure on Biden to withdraw from the election.
According to poll data compiled by the US election information website "Real Transparent Politics", as of the 18th, Trump was ahead of Biden by an average of 3 percentage points in national polls, and his support rate in key "swing states" such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania was ahead of Biden.
Analysts believe that the chaos within the Democratic Party may continue after Biden withdraws from the election. Although Biden expressed support for Harris, it remains to be seen whether the Democratic Party can reach a consensus on the candidate. Previously, some senior Democratic Party officials hoped to determine the Democratic presidential candidate through open competition.
