The President of the United States of America (USA), Joseph Biden has rescinded his decision to seek reelection in the upcoming Presidential elections.
He agreed to quit after mass number of Democrat bigwigs called on him to step down following his disastrous performance in the presidential debate against his opponent, Donald Trump.
It also comes four months to their Presidential election and he has since endorsed her Vice, Kamala Harris for the ticket.
In a statement issued on July 21, the President did not hide his desire to run for a second term but discerned it would be for a better cause to step aside after his first term.
“It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve as your President. 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 further touted his “unprecedented” achievements over the Americans
“Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation. Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We’ve made historic investments in rebuilding our Nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans. We’ve provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances. Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years.
“Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today. I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people. Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected and preserved our Democracy. And we’ve revitalized and strengthened our alliances around the world.”
