President Joe Biden has announced he is dropping out of the presidential race after mounting calls from Democrats for him to end his reelection bid.
Biden has failed to convince members of his own party that he can defeat former President Donald Trump in November after his poor performance at the CNN presidential debate in June.
In a phone call with CNN minutes after Biden announced his exit from the race, Trump described Biden as “the worst president in the history of our country.”
Independent Sen. Joe Manchin was the latest high-profile lawmaker to call for Biden to step aside, telling CNN on Sunday morning the president should “pass the torch” to a new generation of leaders.
