Joseph Biden will not participate in the US presidential election. He withdrew his candidacy from the presidential race, which he announced on his social networks.
"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term," the statement said.
Accordingly, Biden's campaign is over. Democrats were worried that if he entered the presidential race, Donald Trump would come to power.
Biden also said that he will address the citizens of the United States later this week with more details about his decision.

Currently, Biden supports Kamala Harris' candidacy for the presidential election from the Democratic Party.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it's been the best… pic.twitter.com/x8DnvuImJV

Minutes after Biden announced his withdrawal from the race, Donald Trump called his former rival "one of the worst presidents in the history of our country" in a telephone conversation with CNN.
Although it is not yet clear who will now be the candidate of the Democratic Party, Trump told reporters that it would be easier for him to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris than Biden.
Earlier, Newsweek claimed that Harris became the Democrats' favorite for the nomination of the candidate for the presidential elections. However, the Democrats will officially present their candidate at the party's National Convention only at the end of August.
We will remind you that the presidential elections in the US will be held on November 5.
It should be noted that talks about abandoning the presidential race began after Biden failed in the debate with his main opponent, Donald Trump.
After that night, Democrats and the whole world began to closely watch the current president of the United States and noticed an increasing number of slips of the tongue during his speeches.
What is known about the current US leader's participation in the presidential race
We will remind you that the current US Democratic President, Joe Biden, and his Republican rival, Donald Trump, held the first debate since 2020 on June 27, where insults and mockery were exchanged.
The media noted that Biden was noticeably stuttering, mumbling his lines uncertainly, and occasionally looked confused. This caused concern among Democrats concerned about his age and physical condition.
The media even reported that the US Democratic Party is discussing replacing Biden with another candidate. Previously, Vice President Kamala Harris, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer were considered potential candidates to replace Biden.
81-year-old Biden made it clear that he would not withdraw from the election after the debate.
In addition, the current president of the United States announced his readiness to hold another debate with the presidential candidate Donald Trump.
It should be added that after the debate, Biden's first press conference surpassed the Oscars in the number of views.
