US Election 2024 : “We Must Defeat Trump” – Biden Breaks Silence

President of the United States, Joe Biden has disclosed reasons why he dropped out of the 2024 election race.

The President stated this during an Interview with US CBS. His first interview since quitting the race.

He said he had “no serious problem” with his health, noting that he feared that the intraparty battle over his candidacy would be a real distraction for Democrats.

Biden blamed his poor debate performance on being sick at the time, and not his age, stating that his highest priority was to defeat Donald Trump in November.

“We must, we must, we must defeat Trump,” he told US broadcaster CBS News.

Mr Biden said if he had continued his campaign, the presidential contest would have gone “down to the wire”.

“A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races,” he said.

“And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic. You’d be interviewing me about, Why did Nancy Pelosi say, why did so — and I thought it’d be a real distraction.”.

“When I ran the first time, I thought of myself as being a transition president. I can’t even say how old I am. It’s hard for me to get it out of my mouth.”
