On July 21, Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 US presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.
Joe Biden decided to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race last Sunday due to pressure from top Democrats, such as Barack Obama, former US President Donald Trump has told the New York Post.

"[Ex-POTUS] Obama can’t stand him [Biden], and he can’t stand Obama. Obama had a part because he said he wasn’t going to support him. [Former House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi dumped him. They all dumped him, and they said, either you get out nice or we are going after you. That’s what happened, and he had no choice. There’s no question about it," Trump claimed.

He added that "it really started with the [June 27 presidential] debate [between him and the 46th US president]," which was "really [Biden’s] ending."
"He was not good at the debate. And I think I was good. I think that was the end of Biden, frankly," Trump insisted.

Team Trump Files Complaint to Block Harris' Use of Biden Campaign Funds
The remarks came after The Washington Post reported that during a conversation with Biden after the June 27 debate, Obama purportedly said that POTUS’s chances of beating Trump were “greatly diminished”, and that he remains concerned about protecting Biden and his legacy as president.
Pelosi, for her part, ostensibly told Biden in a private conversation, in the wake of the debate, that polling indicates he can’t beat Trump in the 2024 election, adding that the US president’s re-election campaign could destroy Democrats’ chances of winning the House in November, CNN cited unnamed sources as saying.
