In a surprising move, U.S. President Joe Biden has announced the end of his 2024 reelection campaign, citing concerns from fellow Democrats about his mental fitness and ability to defeat Donald Trump. The decision, which Biden revealed in a letter posted on social media, also saw him endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party's candidate.

Biden highlighted the significant achievements of his administration in his letter, including historic economic growth, major investments in healthcare and veterans' care, and landmark legislation on climate change and gun safety. He expressed deep gratitude to the American people and stressed that the nation's progress was a collective effort.

Addressing the nation, Biden stated, 'It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President.

He will speak in more detail about his decision later this week and has called for unity within the Democratic Party to defeat Trump.
