In a startling change of events, the USA President Joe Biden has decided that he would not run for re-election, clearing the way for a new Democratic contender to square battle against Republican nominee Donald Trump in the November election.
The President, who has faced questions about his age and fitness for office, declared that it is in the best interests of the party and the country for him to stand aside and focus on his duties for the duration of his tenure.
According to Sky News, this development follows a string of gaffes and a bad debate performance, which prompted demands from inside his own party for him to step down.
The Democratic National Convention in August is anticipated to pick a new nominee, signaling a fundamental shift in the electoral environment.
