President Joe Biden, amidst mounting pressure due to concerns about his age and mental acuity following a poor debate performance, announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. This decision came after calls from Democratic members of Congress and discussions within his family about a potential exit plan to ensure the party's success against former President Donald Trump. Biden's COVID-19 diagnosis added further complexity to his candidacy, with prominent figures like Representative Adam Schiff and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer urging him to step down for the benefit of the country and the Democratic Party. Public opinion, as indicated by a recent poll, also reflects a significant percentage of Democrats and citizens believing Biden should allow a different candidate to be nominated.
