Joe Biden Says He Dropped Out of the Election to ‘Unite My Party’ Against Donald Trump


President Biden addressed the nation Wednesday evening to explain his decision to drop out of the election and endorse Kamala Harris.

President Joe Biden said Wednesday that while he believes his record merits a second term in office, he dropped his reelection bid to “unite my party” to confront a threat to American democracy. Biden withdrew from the presidential race on Sunday under pressure from party leaders, donors and rank-and-file Democrats, who feared that his advancing age left him incapable of stopping Donald Trump from returning to the presidency. Biden also sought to reassure Americans that he can finish out his term over the next six months, saying he will push for Supreme Court reform as well as an end to the war in Gaza.
