US President Joe Biden stuns the world by stepping down and endorsing Kamala Harris. Find out the latest on this unexpected turn of events!

US President Joe Biden has surprised the nation by announcing his withdrawal from the re-election campaign and throwing his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. This decision came after intense pressure from fellow Democrats, marking the end of Biden's political journey that began in 1972. Despite his long and storied career, Biden made the courageous choice to step aside and pass the torch to a new generation.

The endorsement of Kamala Harris by President Biden signifies a significant shift in the upcoming presidential race. Harris, now poised to run for the presidency, inherits the legacy of the oldest-ever American president. Biden's resilience and dedication to public service have left an indelible mark on American politics, showcasing his unwavering commitment to the country.

As discussions swirl around Biden's age and fitness for office, comparisons are drawn to Malaysian politics where age has not been a barrier to leadership. The support for leaders like Mahathir Mohamad, who served as prime minister at 92, highlights the different perspectives on age in political leadership.

In a surprising twist, Senator Joe Manchin has joined the chorus urging Biden to step down, adding to the mounting pressure on the embattled president. The call for Biden to 'pass the torch' to a new generation reflects the evolving dynamics within the Democratic Party and sets the stage for a transformative chapter in American politics.

Interestingly, Biden's decision to drop out echoes moments of political history where leaders faced pivotal choices. The transition of power from Biden to Harris marks a significant moment in US politics, shaping the future landscape of the nation. Amidst the uncertainty, one thing remains clear - the legacy of Joe Biden and the impact of his decision will reverberate for years to come.
