After a disappointing primary performance, Joe Biden has announced his withdrawal from the 2020 presidential race.
In a statement released on his campaign website, Biden said that he had come to the conclusion that I cannot be an effective leader for our party at this time.
Biden’s decision comes after a series of disappointing finishes in the early primary states. The former vice president finished fourth in Iowa, fifth in New Hampshire, and sixth in Nevada. He dropped out of the race before the South Carolina primary, which was seen as a key test for his candidacy.
In his statement, Biden said that he believes Kamala Harris is the best person to lead our party and defeat Donald Trump in November. Harris, the junior senator from California, is considered one of the frontrunners in the Democratic primary.
Biden’s withdrawal from the race is a major blow to the Democratic establishment. Biden was seen as the most experienced and electable candidate in the field. His decision to drop out leaves the party with a crowded field of candidates, none of whom have the same level of name recognition or experience.
The remaining candidates in the Democratic primary are:
The Democratic primary will continue on February 29 with the South Carolina primary. The next major contest will be the Super Tuesday primary on March 3.
Kind regards E. Thompson.
