Following a period of speculation, Joe Biden announced on Sunday, July 21st, that he would be withdrawing his candidacy for the US presidency. The decision reportedly came after pressure from members of his own Democratic Party, who saw his campaign as unsustainable. According to the British newspaper Financial Times, the threat of major donors withdrawing funding from his campaign also played a significant role. In light of Biden’s withdrawal, all eyes are now on Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States. Harris is considered the leading contender to replace Biden in the presidential race.
