“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” he shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
He did not name a successor, but USA Today reports that Vice President Kamala Harris is seen as the Democrat “best placed to take Biden’s place atop the party’s ticket.”
His exit comes after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned him about the effect it could have on Democrats in the Senate and House.
