USA Biden on withdrawal: "I am at peace with my decision"
US President Joe Biden says he has no regrets about withdrawing from the race for the White House. "I'm at peace with my decision," he said on the talk show "The View" on US broadcaster ABC. "When I ran for my first term, I said that I see myself as a transitional president, ushering in the transition to a new generation of leadership."

Biden stated that he had not dropped out of the race due to pressure from critics - but that he had begun to think about his age. "It's hard for me to even say how old I am," said the 81-year-old. "I mean that seriously. My God, that can't be right."
A disastrous performance by the Democrat in the first TV duel against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at the end of June triggered the political avalanche that ultimately paved the way for Kamala Harris. The vice president is now running against Trump in Biden's place in the presidential election in early November.
