ABCNews.go.com reports: “President Joe Biden is leaving the 2024 race after a halting debate performance against Donald Trump led to questions from Democrats about his age, ability to carry out his campaign and whether he could serve a second term.

Biden said in a statement posted Sunday that he will ‘stand down.’

‘It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,’ he wrote, in part, in a letter posted on X. ‘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.’…”
