Biden announced in July that he was dropping out of the race. The move came after months of him publicly rejecting the idea of ending his campaign despite allies and voters voicing concerns over his age and mental acuity, particularly after his poor performance in the June presidential debate with former President Trump.

First Lady Jill Biden told ABC News that her husband, President Biden, made the "right call" in deciding to exit the race earlier this summer.

Jill Biden said that it was time for her husband to step away from politics, after a five-decade career, and begin a new journey with her.
