Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States, will not make a bid for a second term.
The President had been facing pressure to leave the 2024 Presidential race after a rough performance at last month’s debate called his fitness for office into question. He has since contracted COVID-19, leading to graver concerns about his health as rumors swirled that Vice President Kamala Harris may be better equipped for the job.
