"I retired to defend democracy": US President Joe Biden said this, explaining for the first time the reasons that led him to take a step back, giving up the electoral campaign and, therefore, the race for re-election to the House White.

«I believe that my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for the future of America all deserved a second term – Biden said in a speech to the nation – but nothing can stand in the way of saving our democracy, including personal ambition."

Biden explained that he will continue to work until the end of his mandate "to stop the war in Gaza and to maintain support for Ukraine".

Meanwhile, on the Republican side, Donald Trump continues his electoral tour, returning to launch attacks against both Biden and his replacement in pectore, Kamala Harris: «Three days ago we defeated the worst president in history, who left because he was losing . Now we have a new target to beat: the most incompetent vice president in history", thundered the tycoon in front of his supporters.
