President Joe Biden Drops Out of The 2024 Presidential Race, Leaving the Democratic Nomination Open

Joe Biden announced that he would no longer seek reelection, instead focus on the remainder of his term.

For months, the Biden campaign and allies reassured the public that the president was up to the rigors of leading the free world, often dismissing questions about his age and fitness even as polls consistently showed Americans had concerns.
