Trump said he thought Vice President Kamala Harris would be easier to defeat than Biden would have been.
Trump also said on his Truth Social that “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t.”
Biden announced his decision to step down from the presidential race on Sunday in an X post.
His announcement came amid continued pressure following a disastrous debate performance last month that left many in his party questioning whether he should continue to seek reelection.
He will serve out the remainder of his term.
Biden, on his X handle on Sunday, announced his stepping down from the race.
He said over the past three and a half years, America had made great progress as a Nation, saying today, America has the strongest economy in the world.
“We’ve made historic investments in rebuilding our Nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans, We’ve provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances, Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years.
“Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today,” he said.
Biden said he knew none of this could have been done without the American people, saying “Together, we overcame a once-in-a-century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected and preserved our Democracy. And we’ve revitalized and strengthened our alliances around the world.”
“It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve as your President. 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.
“I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.
“For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.
“I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can’t do — when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America,” he said.
