AUSTIN (Texas Tribune) — President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will not seek reelection this year.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” the Democrat wrote in a letter addressed to the American people. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, 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.”
Biden’s extraordinary move came after a jumbled debate performance late last month where the president failed to make coherent statements and often confused his points. The debate highlighted growing concerns about his advanced age.
