Biden’s choice to leave the race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination throws the US presidential race into waters that have not been navigated since 1968, when Democratic president Lyndon Johnson said he would not seek re-election. It also comes amid concerted US efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza, with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu set for a high-stakes meeting with the US president on Tuesday.
During his term, Biden has approved billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine as well as Israel and Taiwan, hiked tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, and sought to push Israel and Hamas towards agreeing a ceasefire in the Gaza war. While Biden’s decision not to seek re-election makes him something of a “lame duck” domestically, it is unclear how the next six months will play out on the world stage.
