President Joe Biden has stunned the political world by announcing he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. He cited the best interests of his party and the country as reasons for his decision. In a statement released Sunday afternoon, Biden also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. Former President Donald Trump, who had already secured the Republican nomination, reacted swiftly to the news. He called Biden the ‘worst president in history’ and questioned his fitness to serve. “He is not fit to serve,” Trump stated in a phone interview with Fox News Digital. Trump continued, “And I ask — who is going to be running the country for the next five months?” He also took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to express his disapproval of Biden’s presidency. “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve — And never was!” Trump wrote. Biden’s decision comes after months of increasing pressure from within his own party. Concerns about his age and ability to win against Trump have grown in recent weeks. Democratic lawmakers, top donors, and even Hollywood stars had publicly called for Biden to step aside. The President’s announcement came just days after Trump survived an assassination attempt and formally became the 2024 Republican presidential nominee. The political landscape is now in flux as both parties grapple with the implications of Biden’s decision and the race to replace him in the White House.
