Joe Biden has withdrawn himself from the US presidential election race. Biden made a big announcement by issuing a letter to Americans on social media. Along with this, Biden has proposed the name of Kamala Harris for the post of President in his place.

Many Democratic lawmakers, including former President Barack Obama, had also advised Biden to drop out of the presidential race. Questions were being raised about Biden's age and qualifications. All the Democratic MPs were doubting Biden's victory and feared that if Biden runs against Trump, the party's defeat is certain.
