Biden, who defeated Trump in the 2020 Presidential Election, cited that despite his “intention to seek reelection,” he believes it’s in “the best interest” of the Democratic party and the country as a whole that he bow out of the race.
According to the Delawarean, he plans to focus on “fulfilling his Presidential duties for the remainder of his term,” as he revealed on X. “I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.”

There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any f***ing thing.”
