White House 2024: Donald Trump Reacts to Joe Biden’s Decision to Pull Out of Presidential Race

Republican candidate Donald Trump has reacted to President Joe Biden’s decision to pull out of the presidential race, posting on his platform Truth Social: “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for president, and is certainly not fit to serve – and never was!”

“He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement.

“All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t,” he writes.

“We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

White House 2024: Joe Biden Withdraws from Presidential Race and Endorses Kamala Harris

President Joe Biden, 81, has announced he’s ending his campaign for re-election to the White House.

It follows weeks of pressure from within his party, sparked by a faltering debate performance against Donald Trump in late June.

The president said his decision was “in the best interest of my party and the country” and that it had been the greatest honour of his life to serve as the American president.

Joe Biden said he would see out the remainder of his term in the White House and has endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to take the top of the ticket as the Democratic candidate for president in the November election.

His political opponents, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, have called on him to step down straight away. Joe Biden’s rival for president, Donald Trump, says the Democrat is “not fit to serve”.

However, Joe Biden has received tributes from prominent figures within his party, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, and beyond – such as Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, who said he “restored honesty, dignity and integrity” to the White House after Trump.
