Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the US presidential race.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president.

On June 27, the first electoral debate between the candidates of both parties, Joy Biden and Donald Trump, took place in the CNN studios. The current president’s unsuccessful performance provoked criticism from the media and his fellow party members towards the 81-year-old politician.
