U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he will not seek reelection for a second term, citing the best interests of his party and the nation. In a post on social media, Biden expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve as President and stated his intention to focus solely on fulfilling his duties until the end of his term in January 2025. This decision paves the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to potentially run at the top of the Democratic ticket in 2024, making her the first Black woman to do so in the country’s history.

Biden’s announcement has raised questions about who will replace him in the 2024 White House race. While the President did not explicitly mention Harris in his statement, it is widely speculated that she may become the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination. However, it remains uncertain whether other senior Democrats will challenge Harris for the nomination or if the party will opt to open the field for nominations.

The decision comes following mounting pressure from Democratic lawmakers and party officials after Biden’s disappointing performance in a televised debate against Republican rival Trump. Concerns about Biden’s verbal gaffes struggles to articulate coherent sentences, and multiple COVID-19 diagnoses have fueled doubts about his fitness for another term. As a result, more than one in 10 congressional Democrats publicly called for him to exit the race.

Biden’s historic move marks the first time a sitting president has relinquished his party’s nomination for reelection since President Lyndon Johnson in 1968, leaving his potential replacement with less than four months to launch a campaign. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a top Republican, has called for Biden to resign from the presidency immediately, emphasizing that if he is unfit to run for re-election, he is unfit to serve as President.
