President Joe Biden announced Sunday he would drop out of the 2024 presidential election after weeks of questions within the Democratic Party over whether he could defeat former President Donald Trump in November’s general election.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” he said in a letter. “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.”

Biden’s decision, which comes weeks ahead of the Democratic National Convention, leaves the Democratic nomination open. He immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the nomination.
