Biden drops out of race in historic decision
In a historic and unprecedented move, President Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday following mounting calls from fellow Democrats to do so. He said in a statement that his decision was in the best interest of the Democrats and the country, and he vowed to finish his term in office. He also threw his support behind his vice president, Kamala Harris.
