Biden ends campaign for second term after debate loss to Trump

sg.news.yahoo.com

President Joe Biden has ended his campaign for a second term after a poor debate performance against Donald Trump. He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the new Democratic nominee, aiming to pass leadership to a younger generation. Biden's decision to run again was seen as a miscalculation, given concerns about his age and health. His withdrawal leaves the Democratic Party with limited time to find a new candidate, impacting Harris's visibility and appeal. In the wake of Trump's victory, Biden plans to address the nation about the election results and the transition. He faces challenges as Trump is expected to reverse many of Biden's policies, complicating his legacy.
