Biden drops out of race, scrambling the campaign for the White House

No sitting president has dropped out of a race so late in the election cycle in U.S. history.

(Doug Mills/The New York Times) President Joe Biden arrives for a Medal of Honor ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, July 3, 2024. Biden abandoned his campaign for a second term under intense pressure from fellow Democrats on Sunday, July 21, upending the race for the White House in a dramatic last-minute bid to find a new candidate who can stop former President Donald Trump from returning to the White House.
