US President Joe Biden, abandoning his attempt to be reelected for a second term, has announced that he will continue to serve as the head of state until the end of his current term. He issued a statement to the effect on X—formerly Twitter.

“We are the United States of America – there's nothing we can't do if we do it together. We just have to remember who we are. I’ve dedicated my presidency to proving that, and I'll continue to do so today, tomorrow, and every day that I have the honor of being your president," Biden said in a statement.
