'In best interest of ...': Joe Biden announces he is withdrawing from US presidential race; endorses Kamala Harris

拜登宣布退出美国总统竞选，支持卡玛拉·哈里斯

President Joe Biden on Sunday announced he is withdrawing from the 2024 US presidential race, leaving the Democratic nomination wide open just four months before the November election against Republican nominee Donald Trump. The decision also comes just days ahead of the Democratic National Convention.

周日，美国总统乔·拜登宣布退出2024年美国总统竞选，离11月大选与共和党候选人唐纳德·特朗普的对决仅剩四个月了。这一决定恰逢在民 主党全国代表大会召开前几天做出。

"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President.

“能担任你们的总统是我一生中最大的荣耀。”

And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, 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," said Biden.

拜登说：“虽然我打算寻求连任，但我认为，为了民 主党和国家的最大利益，我应该退出，在剩下的任期内专注于履行我作为总统的职责。”

The President said he will be speaking to the nation "later this week in more detail about my decision".

总统表示，他将在“本周晚些时候”向全国发表讲话，详细说明我的决定。

The widely-expected decision comes after intense pressure from Democratic leaders, organisers, and donors who saw limited prospects of wng with Biden as the nominee due to concerns over the 81-year-old president's age, health, and declining popularity.

这一决定是在民 主党领导人、组织者和捐助者的巨大压力下做出的，由于担心拜登总统81岁高龄、健康状况和支持率下降，他们认为拜登赢得提名的前景有限。

Biden's poor debate performance and inconsistent public appearances fueled doubts among voters about his ability to serve another term.

拜登在辩论中的糟糕表现和不稳定的公开露面让选民对他能否连任产生了怀疑。

Biden's withdrawal will trigger a complex process, with the party potentially needing to adjust its nomination procedures and navigate legal challenges at the state level.

拜登的退出将引发一个复杂的过程，民 主党可能需要调整提名程序，并应对州一级的法律挑战。

Biden endorses Kamala Harris

In a follow-up post on X , Biden then endorsed VP Kamala Harris as presidential nominee.

拜登支持卡马拉·哈里斯

在X上发布的后续帖子中，拜登随后支持副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯作为总统候选人。

IT'S GOOD THAT FINALLY Biden has stepped out of the race. But, I think it's too late.

拜登终于退出了竞选，这是件好事。但是，我觉得已经太迟了。

Trump and Republicans will not only easily win the Presidency but get huge majorities in both goyses of parliament. There is no way US will elect that total idiot Kamala who can not properly write a sentence. Besides racial reasons ( black black tamil brahmin) she evokes toral repulsion .n most Americans.

特朗普和共和党不仅会轻松赢得总统大选，还会在议会两院获得绝大多数席位。美国不可能选那个连一个句子都写不好的卡玛拉。除了种族原因(黑人，泰米尔婆罗门)，她在大多数美国人中引起了强烈的反感。

Trump is likely to win especially after he escaped assassination attempt and got 2nd Life.

特朗普很有可能获胜，特别是在他遭到暗杀企图，获得二次生命后。

拜拜，拜登搞砸了乌克兰和欧洲。没有廉价的俄罗斯天然气，欧洲将去工业化。三分之二的德国公司正在关闭或迁出。希望印度尽快修建通往伊朗和俄罗斯的管道。

可悲的是，他应该在一年前就推荐哈里斯作为他的继任者，她精明能干，会在辩论中击败特朗普的。

优雅？ 开玩笑的吧，他被推到了崩溃的边缘。在过去2-3年里，有迹象表明他就不应该提名自己。

This decision comes very late, but nevertheless wright one. Now the de ocratic party has a serious issue of selecting a viable opponent of Trump. The process is pretty complicated including legal challenges by many aspirants. Hope they sort it out amicably by the convention date. SKH, NY

这一决定来得很晚，但却是正确的。现在，美国民 主党面临着一个严峻的问题，那就是选择一个可以与特朗普抗衡的对手。这个过程相当复杂，包括面临的法律挑战。希望他们能在大会前友好地解决这个问题。

从六月底总统辩论的失误开始，由特朗普遇刺未遂引发。川普又要进入白宫了，对印度来说是个好消息。正如莫迪2019年9月在休斯顿所说的那样…
