President Joe Biden has withdrawn from the US election race.

He made the announcement on social media in a post this evening.

He has since followed up with a second statement declaring his support for current Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrat’s candidate for the upcoming elections.

The statement read: “My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term.
