President Biden has been an extraordinary, history-making president — a leader who has fought hard for working people and delivered astonishing results for all Americans. He will go down in history as one of the most impactful and selfless presidents.

Thank you, @JoeBiden. https://t.co/HMUMEB1fTl

However, the reactions were not universally positive, with actor James Woods expressing apprehension about Biden’s future role.

If you think Joseph Biden was a danger to America as president, wait until you see what he'll be like as a bitter, enraged lame duck.

He MUST resign immediately, lest he go even more insane than he already is. pic.twitter.com/xK5U3bfcOi

It looks more and more like that very early debate was a set up to force Biden to step aside.

Today's announcement may not have happened without that disastrous debate. https://t.co/b8aiitxfn7

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene also made a strong statement on X, following Biden’s decision to drop out from the race.

There's a soft civil war happening in the deep state and the elites in power.

The Democrats, the IC, and their activists in the media have been lying to us saying there's nothing wrong with Biden for years.

Next, they start a coup against him demanding he drop out of the race…

Why It Matters: Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race has significant implications for the political landscape. His departure leaves a void in the Democratic party’s candidate lineup, opening the door for other potential candidates to step forward.

Furthermore, the timing of his withdrawal, amid a positive COVID-19 diagnosis and following a disappointing debate performance, raises questions about the president’s health and political standing.

As the nation reacts to this unexpected news, the focus now shifts to who will emerge as the Democratic party’s presidential candidate for the 2024 election. The coming months will undoubtedly be a pivotal time in American politics.
