Biden Withdraws from Presidential Election, Citing Health Concerns, Says Former Indian Ambassador

By A Staff Reporter

In a surprising turn of events, US President Joe Biden has pulled out of the Presidential election, a move that former Indian Ambassador to the United States and BJP leader Taranjit Singh Sandhu finds both rare and significant.

Commenting on the development, Sandhu said, "In the US also, this was a special election because two old rivals (Joe Biden and Donald Trump) were contesting against each other. So, there was a lot of excitement. After the debate (between Joe Biden and Donald Trump), even before that, there have been questions about President Biden's health and while officially this is not connected, it is widely believed that issues of health - whether he will be able to serve out the full term - that aspect played on the Democratic Party and he has withdrawn from the contest."

Sandhu emphasized the rarity of this occurrence, noting, "Perhaps, this is a rare happening where a President who has already got the number of primary votes has stepped back. So, in that sense, it's a very interesting political development."
