US presidential election
On July 21, US President Joe Biden announced that he withdrew from the presidential race. He supported Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate.
According to the US media, Biden was persuaded to withdraw his candidacy from the election by his closest aides, who showed him the campaign's polls. They showed that Biden's chances of winning in November were slim.
In turn, the Associated Press reported that Harris had won enough delegate votes to become the Democratic presidential candidate.
The US presidential election will be held on November 5.
