Due to the upcoming mid-term elections, President Joe Biden decided to pull out of the running for the 2024 presidential election and this put into question if the 2024 presidential election will happen.
Joe Biden’s retirement from the campaign declared from his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he recently quarantined after getting a positive COVID-19 test, takes cognizance of the pressure from Democratic leaders and the diminishing likelihood of beating former President Trump.
This act has occurred at a time when the political situation is already quite unstable and there is a terrible shooting attempt on President Trump.
Biden’s supporting VP Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential nominee puts her in the lead, nonetheless, she has to boost her support, both voters and stakeholders.
Harris said that she appreciated Biden’s endorsement and underlined the intention to get the nomination and win it.
Thus, to present a solid front, the Democratic Party has to coalesce around Harris or another candidate right now.
This aspect points to Biden’s health, his recent COVID-19 infection, and his age, which probably impacted his decision, revealing persistent concerns about his ability to campaign and govern efficiently.
The next few months will be most telling as the party tries out these changes and readies itself for an early election season.
