After weeks of pressure, President Joe Biden of the United States has withdrawn from the November 5 election, and has endorsed his Vice President, Kamala Harris.
The 81 year old president served as vice president during Barack Obama’s two terms as America’s number one citizen. In the 2016 presidential election, he threw his support behind the then Secretary of State Hilary Clinton who lost the election to Donald Trump.
Four years later, he defeated Trump who was seeking reelection. He had made history as the oldest person to be elected into the Oval Office at the age of 77.
President Biden’s presidency has been marked with controversy, especially on account of his health and fitness. This reached its peak after Donald Trump defeated him by a wide margin in a presidential debate some weeks ago.
