US election campaign - Biden: Defending democracy is more important than titles
US-President Joe Biden will pass the baton to a new generation in his withdrawal from the presidential race. "This is the best way to unite our nation," Biden said in a speech to the nation from the Oval Office of the White House. "The defense of democracy is more important than any title," the 81-year-old added. He finds strength and joy in working for the American people. But it's not about him, Biden stressed. "It's about you. About your families. About your future."
There's a time "for new voices, fresh voices, yes, younger voices," Biden said. This time has come. "Nothing can stand in the way of saving our Democracy, not even personal ambition," he emphasized. In the past few weeks, it has become clear to Biden that he needs to unite his party.
Biden announced on Sunday that he would withdraw from the campaign and endorsed Kamala Harris as his replacement. This came after a week-long debate about Biden's mental fitness. Biden had given a disastrous performance in the TV debate against his Republican challenger Donald Trump. Following this, withdrawal calls grew within his own party.
Biden's decision to step down from the US election campaign was a move to assure unity, stating it as the "best way to unite our nation" from the White House. His focus remains on the defense of democracy, viewing it as more significant than any presidential title. He finds fulfillment in serving the American people, emphasizing that it's not about him but about the nation's future.
Biden acknowledged the necessity for "new voices, fresh voices, yes, younger voices" in his speech, concluding that the time had come for this transition. He emphasized that nothing, not even personal ambition, can impede the salvation of democracy.
After a week of scrutiny regarding his mental fitness, Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris as his replacement. The decision came amidst growing concerns and calls for withdrawal within his own party, following a subpar performance in a televised debate against his Republican opponent, Donald Trump.
America's democratic process continues with the ongoing US election campaign, where different political parties showcase their visions and policies. The occupant of the White House will play a crucial role in shaping the USA's defense policies, ensuring the safety and security of its citizens and allies.
Significantly, a smooth transition is critical for maintaining the stability and integrity of the US government. As the incumbent US-President, Joe Biden emphasized the importance of unity within his own Party to effectively contribute to his team's staff efforts for the betterment of the nation.
Understanding the importance of democracy, both Joe Biden and his replacement, Kamala Harris, will rely on the support of their parties and the American public to successfully navigate the presidential race and work towards strengthening the core values and fundamentals of the USA.
