ALBAWABA - President Joe Biden stated that the necessity to beat former President Donald Trump was the main driving force for his decision in his first public statement since dropping out of the presidential contest in support of Vice President Kamala Harris.
"It has been an honor to serve as President, but I feel a strong obligation to do this for the country," stated Biden in a CBS interview. He went on to say that the necessity of making sure Trump does not take power again motivated his withdrawal.
In addition, Biden said that he discussed his choice with his son and gave it much thought before acting, saying, "Our democracy was at risk, and I had to act." "It's imperative that we defeat Trump," he said.
In addition, Biden expressed grave alarm over Trump's vows to create "a bloodbath" if he loses the election.
Biden emphasized the need of defending American democracy and emphasized the need to keep Trump from winning the president again. He acknowledged that the current debate was very troubling and that it increased the pressure on him to resign.
In the past, Biden had rejected calls to step down, claiming that he could only be eliminated from the race by divine intervention. But in the end, he had to pull out due to strong pressure from Democratic leaders, threats from large contributors to stop supporting him, and a terrible debate performance.
The choice was made at a time when Democrats' concerns about Biden's age and ability to serve a second term at 82 years old were beginning to emerge, especially among the party's younger members.
