The president of United States, Joe Bidenhas communicated to his campaign officials his decision to withdraw from the presidential race, with an official announcement expected before Sunday. The news, confirmed by various sources and American media, marks a turning point in the country’s politics.
The New York Times said the president has begun to accept the idea that he may not be able to win the November 5 election. “The report is based on interviews with four people close to the president, all of whom described the situation as extremely delicate and spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid offending the president,” the newspaper reported on its website.

For his part, Mark Halperin, a commentator for Newsmax, has stated that the 81-year-old Democratic president will probably make his retirement announcement this weekend. However, his exit from the presidential race does not imply a resignation from the presidency or an explicit endorsement of another candidate, including Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Democrat’s withdrawal sets up an unusual scenario for the Democratic National Convention in August in Chicago. It is shaping up to be the first brokered convention since 1952, with the possibility of dozens of Democratic candidates vying for the presidential nomination. That suggests a highly competitive and potentially fractured selection process within the party.
Biden’s decision has sparked a whirlwind of speculation and analysis in the US political landscape. His term in office was marked by challenges, including managing the Covid-19 pandemic, economic recovery and international tensions.

The impact of his withdrawal on the electoral dynamic is profound. Without an incumbent candidate, the Democratic Party faces the task of selecting a new leader in a relatively short period of time. This opens the door to a wide range of contenders, from established figures within the party to potential outsiders who will seek to capitalize on the void left by Biden.
