The President of the United States addressed the American people in which he explained the reasons for withdrawing his candidacy from the presidential race. Joe Biden explained the reasons for withdrawing from the race and called on Americans for unity.

During an address to the nation, he called his decision to withdraw from the race “a matter of democracy”. Biden called the 2024 presidential election a choice “between forward movement and backward movement, between hope and hatred”.

“I respect this position, but I love my country more. It has been the honor of my life to serve as your president, but to protect the democracy that is at stake - and that is more important than any title. I draw strength and find joy in working for the good of the American people”, - he said.

The head of the White House also said that Americans will have many choices in the presidential elections this fall. According to him, “America will have to choose between moving forward or backward, between hope and hatred, between unity and division”: “We must decide: Do we still believe in honesty, decency, respect? To freedom, justice and democracy? In this moment, we can see those with whom we disagree, not as enemies, but as fellow citizens... I believe I know the answers to these questions because I know you, the American people, and I know this: We are a great nation because we are good people”.
