Biden withdraws from presidential race: Democratic party's new hope in Kamala Harris

h

The news that Joe Biden withdrew from the US presidential election is not unexpected. With opposition from within the Democratic Party itself, Biden's withdrawal was almost certain to happen at any time. The Democratic Party was worried about how much people would support a person whose names were changed and who could barely walk because of aging issues, not age. Biden's health problems worsened when he was infected with Covid-19 more than once. However, Biden, who refused to back down at the beginning, decided to drop out, considering that the chances of winning would be greatly reduced with the assassination attempt against the opposing candidate, Donald Trump. The decisions of the person who reaches the presidency of the United States will affect not only the United States but the entire world. Perfect mental and physical health is therefore essential for the person who attains that position.

Despite being seventy-nine years old, Trump's behavior and public discourse do not show any age problems. Although his ear was injured in the assassination attempt, Trump left the stage and called on the people to "fight, fight". After this incident, there were reports that Trump's popularity has increased several times. In addition to withdrawing from the election, Biden has announced Vice President Kamala Harris as his nominee for the presidency. Former President Bill Clinton, who is a Democrat, has also announced his support for Kamala . If Kamala becomes a candidate, history will be created for the first time that an Indian will contest for the presidential election. In this regard, the final decision will be made by the party's convention which will be held next month. There is a demand for Kamala to find a new candidate instead.

Although memory loss and ill health have been bothering Biden for some time, the demand that Biden should change has become stronger in his own party because he lost to Trump, the candidate of the Republican Party, in the first presidential debate. In the press release announcing the withdrawal, Joe Biden says that the U.S. has made great strides in the last three years and today the world's strongest economy belongs to the United States. At the same time, not only is the United States not doing much to find an end to the ongoing attacks in Ukraine and Gaza, but there is also the accusation that the policy of promoting war continues. Trump also repeats that the fact that there has not been a single war in his time is a great achievement. At this time when the world is going through a critical phase, it is a very important fact who will become the President of the United States. That is why the election that the world is looking forward to is going to be held in America. It is impossible not to influence the people when Trump repeats in the campaign platforms that he took the bullet for democracy.
