In a history altering moment President Joe Biden has officially dropped out of the

2024 election endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him.

I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley.

It's Sunday, July 21st, and this is a special edition of Morning Wire.

Here with the latest on this stunning development is Daily Wire Senior Editor Cabot Phillips. So Cabot, The Dam has broken and we are fully in uncharted waters now.

What did the president and now former candidate Biden announce?

Yeah, in a time full of historic moments, this one might be the most groundbreaking of all.

President Joe Biden has officially announced that he is stepping aside and will not run for

re-election in 2024. To be clear he will serve out the remainder of his first term but

will not be on the ballot in November.

In a letter posted to social media, not in a televised or taped address, the president said the following,

my fellow Americans over the past three and a half, we have made great progress as a nation.

Today, America has the strongest economy in the world.

America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.

I know none of this could have been done without you the American people.

It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president. And while it's been my

intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the

country for me to stand down and to focus solely

on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.

I will speak to the nation later this week in more detail about my decision.

He went on to thank Vice President Harris for her support before closing with this.

I believe today what I always have that there is nothing America can't do when we do it together.
