In a turn of events that has reshaped the presidential race, President Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 election campaign. Biden has stated that his health is deteriorating, as the primary reason for his decision. He expresses regret, but acknowledges that his health conditions are more important.

What really brought Biden’s health to the table was the debate between Trump and Biden. It highlighted the grueling demands of the presidential campaign and the immense pressure on candidates, both physically and mentally. Biden’s subsequent decision to withdraw from the race reflected concerns over his health exacerbated by the stress of such high-stakes events.

After dropping out, Biden threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to secure the Democratic nomination. “Kamala is a proven leader with the vision and strength to lead our country forward,” Biden declared in a press conference from his campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.
Political scientists and strategists believe that while the move was unexpected, it could work well for the democrats given that Harris has served many roles in the American Government, as Attorney General of California and a United States Senator, brings a wealth of experience.

With primary voting coming up soon, Harris’s campaign is expected to gain momentum from Biden’s endorsement, while other Democratic candidates adjust their strategies in response to this unexpected development. As the race continues, the focus now shifts to how Harris will respond to the challenges ahead and use the momentum of Biden’s support to secure the Democratic nomination.

All in all, due to his deteriorating health, Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Kamala Harris to become president. She will now be representing the Democrats in the presidential election, and with primary voting on the way, Kamala could become the first woman to become president.
