WASHINGTON - US President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign on July 21 after fellow Democrats lost faith in his mental acuity and ability to beat Donald Trump while endorsing Vice-President Kamala Harris to replace him as the party’s candidate.
US President Joe Biden speaks next to Vice President Kamala Harris as he delivers a statement at the White House on July 14.
“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made,” he wrote. Former President Trump, the Republican candidate in the Nov 5 election, told CNN on July 21 that he believed Ms Harris would be easier to defeat.In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, Ms Harris and Mr Trump were tied with 44 per cent support each in a July 15-16 Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted immediately after the July 13 assassination attempt on Mr Trump.
Mr Biden’s failure at times to complete clear sentences took the public spotlight away from Mr Trump’s performance, in which he made a string of false statements, and trained it instead on questions surrounding Mr Biden’s fitness for another 4-year term. Mr Biden’s historic move - the first sitting president to give up his party’s nomination for reelection since President Lyndon Johnson in March 1968 - leaves his replacement with less than four months to wage a campaign.
His team had hoped a strong performance at the June 27 debate would ease concerns over his age. It did the opposite: a Reuters/Ipsos poll after the debate showed that about 40 per cent of Democrats thought he should quit the race.
