WASHINGTON–(AP July 21)–President Joe Biden says in a social media post that he is withdrawing from his reelection bid against Donald Trump.

The announcement Sunday upends the dynamics of the presidential election after a debate performance that prompted many rank-and-file lawmakers to urge him to withdraw from the race. He did not immediately endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor.

The president said he will address the American people later this week “in more detail about my decision.”
