Joe Biden has officially withdrawn from the presidential race and will remain in the White House. The politician will soon be able to enjoy a peaceful retirement alongside his beloved wife. They recently celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary.

The world of American politics is full of surprising twists and turns. Just a week ago, international media were abuzz with reports of a campaign rally in Pennsylvania where Donald Trump was shot in the ear. His patriotic stance and ability to turn this shocking event into a success have significantly boosted his support, bringing him closer to winning the 60th presidential election in the United States.

Everything pointed to his main opponent, the current officeholder, Joe Biden. Despite massive support from many influential people, doubts about the 81-year-old's future career emerged over time. The Democrat representative had recently seemed lost, painfully exposed during the June debate.

The sitting president eventually succumbed to the advice of his advisors and growing voices of discontent from fellow citizens. This evening, he announced his decision to withdraw from the presidential race, conveying it via the X platform.

"It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, 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," Joe Biden stated.

The politician's announcement received an immediate reaction from his wife. Jill Biden shared her husband's post on her profile, adding two heart emojis to it.
