ANKARA (AA) – US President Joe Biden on Sunday withdrew from the race for the US presidency.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden said in a statement posted on X.
The US presidential elections will be held on Nov. 5.
