“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.”

 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” and President Biden seemingly agrees.

In a follow-up statement, Biden added that he’s endorsing Kamala Harris for President.

“My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” he wrote. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made.”

He continued,

“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”

His exit comes after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned him about the effects a possible loss to Trump would have on Democrats in the Senate and House.
