Six months before Election Day, President Joe Biden abruptly and humbledly declared on Sunday that he would not be running for president again. This decision has left the race for the White House in disarray.

The 81-year-old Biden was unable to stop the increasing belief in his party that he was too weak to lead and would fall short against Donald Trump in November. He supported Kamala Harris, the vice president, to be the Democratic nominee in his place.
