Last week Joe Biden came out in the open to describe what happened that forced him to quit the US Presidential Election 2024. Blaming it on former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and some of his senior Democrat colleagues, he said that he stepped aside under pressure, not willingly. He also made it clear that there was no serious medical issue and that the fight with Donald Trump was going neck and neck when he was asked to quit. Biden pulled out of the race for the White House last month and endorsed Vice President Kamal Harris.
