President Joe Biden has dropped out of the 2024 race in a seismic decision sparked by a relentless campaign from Democrats demanding he drop out because of his cognitive decline and his dire chances against Donald Trump.
The 81-year-old stepped aside after facing weeks of questions over his fitness to serve following his disastrous presidential debate performance.
His historic move comes after a 50-year career in politics that culminated in the White House.
Now Democrats must race to shore up their campaign behind a new nominee with just four months until voting day.
