Joe Biden ends re-election campaign

US President Joe Biden has announced that he will end his candidacy for re-election, saying "it is in the best interest of my party and the country".

It comes four months before Americans go to the polls, upending the race for the White House.

It follows weeks of intense pressure from fellow Democrats after a faltering debate performance against Republican Donald Trump at the end of June.

Re: Joe Biden withdraws from US presidential election race

And only four months to the election. This calls for desperate, panic measures.

Let's see, the UK election was announced, over and done with, and the new administration installed, in, what was it, less than 2 months? And in France it was even quicker. How is this possible? In the US it takes that long for the election winner to be installed.
