Biden Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race

Biden Cites Age, Lack of Electoral Viability as Reasons

The 82-year-old President faced scrutiny over his age and ability to defeat a likely Republican opponent.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Joe Biden has announced that he will not seek a second term in the 2024 presidential election. The decision comes after a lengthy period of speculation and intense pressure from within his own party.

Biden's announcement was met with mixed reactions. Some expressed disappointment, while others acknowledged the challenges faced by the elderly President. The President has faced scrutiny over his age and his ability to defeat a likely Republican opponent, who is expected to be younger and more energetic.

Biden's age became a significant issue in the 2024 race. At 82, he would have been the oldest President in American history if elected. This raised concerns about his physical and mental fitness to serve a second term. Additionally, there were concerns that his age could make him vulnerable to attack by his opponents.

Biden's decision to drop out of the race is a major blow to the Democratic Party. He was considered the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, and his departure leaves the field wide open.
