President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he will be stepping down as the Democratic presidential nominee for the 2024 race and will not pursue a second term in the White House. He is set to address the nation later this week.
The news comes after top Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Sen. Chuck Schumer called on Biden to step aside, with polls showing Trump leading Biden in major swing states. In recent days, Biden has been off the campaign trail as he has been isolating amid a Covid-19 infection.
