When he was asked a question about his candidacy, he got angry and said that now only God can come down and convince him to withdraw his candidacy. Biden was constantly claiming to retain his candidacy and that he was healthy.
Decision taken in national and party interest
In his letter to Americans released on social media, Biden mentioned the work done during his tenure and thanked the Americans who supported him.

Biden proposes Kamala Harris’ name in his place
Joe Biden has withdrawn his name for the presidential race and proposed the name of Kamala Harris. Biden wrote on social media, “My fellow Democrats, I have decided to withdraw the nomination and focus all my energy on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My first decision as the party’s candidate in 2020 was to choose Kamala Harris as Vice President. And it has been my best decision. Today I want to give Kamala my full support and endorsement to make her our party’s presidential candidate this year. Democrats – now is the time to come together and defeat Trump. Let’s do it together.”
Now Kamala Harris against Trump
Joe Biden has proposed Kamala Harris’s name for the presidency. It is possible that the party may also announce Harris’s name soon. Many Democratic MPs have also described Kamala Harris as a capable candidate.
Trump has also taken the name of Kamala Harris
Not only Democratic MPs, but Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump has also described Kamala Harris as a capable candidate instead of Biden on several occasions. Recently, in a leaked video, Trump predicted that Biden is going to withdraw from the race soon and the Democrats are soon preparing to field Kamala Harris against me. Trump also mocked Kamala Harris and said that Kamala is very smart but she will not be able to do anything against me, Harris has no status in front of me.
