Joe Biden Announces End of Candidacy for Re-Election

A Historic Presidency Comes to a Close

On January 20, 2021, Joe Biden made history by becoming the 46th president of the United States. His presidency has been marked by significant challenges and accomplishments, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic downturn, and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

A Legacy of Service

Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania on November 20, 1942, Biden has dedicated his life to public service. He served as a Delaware senator for 36 years, playing a leading role in the Senate. He also served as the 47th vice president of the United States under President Barack Obama.

As president, Biden has prioritized issues such as climate change, healthcare, and economic recovery. He has also worked to restore America's global leadership and strengthen international alliances.

A Time for Change

Despite his accomplishments, Biden has faced criticism for his handling of certain issues, including the ongoing withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. With the 2024 presidential election approaching, Biden has announced that he will not seek re-election.

In a statement to the nation, Biden said, "I believe that it is in the best interest of my party and the country that I do not seek re-election in 2024." He added that he believes it is time for "a new generation of leaders to take the reins and guide our country into the future."

Biden's decision has set the stage for a competitive Democratic primary, with several candidates already vying for the party's nomination.
