WASHINGTON On Wednesday evening, President Joe Biden made an announcement from his office at the White House that he quit his presidential bid to save democracy.
“This position is precious but my love for my country is even greater. Biden says that Trump and others are wrong because they think being president means more than anything else. “I am happy and energized when I serve this nation.” Nonetheless, this saintly mission of making us one with God in Christ is not performed by me. It involves you. Your households. Your futures. The topic is “We the People“.

The president rarely steps down willingly without constitutional or electoral constraints on him. Withdrawing as candidate after pressure from his party, Biden said it would be better for the country if citizens support him while “preserving our democracy.”
He has also been described by himself and other members of his political party as a great danger to democracy because he refused to accept defeat at the hands of biden during an unseemly melee at Capitol Hill on 6th January 2021 which aimed to stop certification process.
“Either America will step forward or America will step back,” joe biden said, without referring to Trump by name. Between hate and hope; between division and unity”.
joe biden “You now hold our republic hostage,” he went on.
Biden’s speech came three days after he withdrew from the race last June when his weak performance in a debate caused demands among some quarters within his own party for him to drop out so that another Democrat could run against Trump. Many Democrats believed that Biden’s poor debate showing and subsequent sluggish improvement attempts made it impossible for him to win re-election.
joe biden said haltingly in a monotonous tone: “The best way forward is for me to move aside and let there be a generational change.” “That is the best way to unite our nation.”
The former president ripped into his old rival in North Carolina last night during a campaign stop. “Three days ago, we officially defeated crooked Joe Biden, worst president in the history of our country,” Trump said.
Biden made an announcement on Sunday afternoon that he would not be standing for re-election. He wrote a post announcing this on X and followed it thirty minutes later with support for his vice president Kamala Harris in the Democratic primary.
She will likely win a virtual roll call vote of the Democratic delegates by August 1 or as late as August 7 without any contest.

“She’s a seasoned, tough person, she can,” joe biden uttered. I have had no better partner and a greater leader for my country.”
She became the first incumbent since Johnson in 1968 to drop out of his party’s presidential race when he gave it to her. Two years before Biden ran for office in Delaware for the first time and won—seat on the New Castle County Council.
At age 29, after a bitter contest, he defeated Republican Senator Caleb Boggs. Serving as chairman of the Foreign Relations and Judiciary committees at different times, Biden would go on to win six more terms as senator. His most recent victory came in 2008 when he was elected vice president that same year. In November 2012, alongside President Barack Obama, Biden was re-elected Vice-President. After coming out of retirement emerged as winner from a large field of competitors during Democratic presidential nominee who then trounced Trump in November 2020.
In spite of having run and lost both in the presidential primaries of 1988 and 2008, his decision not to run again allowed him to retire with an unbeaten career record across general elections in all other cases including instead of carrying on with future ballots into 2024. This also signals the end of a presidency-focused career by Joe Biden. When Joe Biden first thought about seeking presidency it was in 1980 when he finally grew up enough to do so. He also considered running during most years when there wasn’t a Democrat serving as president.
When he was starting his administration early on inside Congress Biden received support from progressives even though they once viewed him as a centrist within his own party. That there has never been such extensive domestic policy setting since that era is what he and others among his Democrats assert but what cannot be proven.
Biden signed some key bills into law that were game-changers at national level like almost $2 trillion Covid relief bill, one trillion dollar infrastructure package, and Inflation Reduction Act which contained significant provisions towards climate change mitigation.
Harris became not only the first Asian American, Black and female vice-president but also nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to be confirmed as the primary African-American woman on the Supreme Court.

However, he declared, “nothing, nothing can stand in the way of our democracy being saved. This encompasses individual aspirations.”
Biden pledged that he will implement his agenda until there is a new president on January 20.
“I’ll be focused on doing my job as president for the next six months.” That means I will cut down bills for ordinary families more and grow our economy nationally. I shall continue to protect civil rights and personal freedoms like choice or voting.
He also implied that recognizing what potential risk he perceives emanating from another Trump’s administration should make Americans vote against their age-long opponent.
“Here you simply don’t have kings or dictators running things. Not in America. People are in charge. You have power to change history. It is up to you: it is your land America’s idea.”
