Biden ends re-election bid, upending White House race
拜登宣布退出连任竞选,并支持提名副总统哈里斯
US President Joe Biden has ended his re-election campaign and endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to succeed him as the Democratic candidate, in an extraordinary decision that upends an already dramatic race for the White House.
Mr Biden, 81, said in a Sunday written statement that it was the "greatest honour" to serve but his withdrawal was "in the best interest of my party and the country".
The announcement caps a tumultuous period in US politics, which began with his sometimes incoherent debate performance against Donald Trump on 27 June. Mr Biden says he will remain president until January.
美国总统乔·拜登结束了他的连任竞选,并支持副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯接替他成为民主党候选人,这一非同寻常的决定颠覆了本已充满戏剧性的白宫竞选。
现年81岁的拜登在周日的一份书面声明中表示,担任总统是“最大的荣誉”,但退出竞选“是为了我的党派和国家的最佳利益”。
这一声明为美国政坛的一系列动荡划上了句号,动荡始于6月27日他在与唐纳德·特朗普的辩论中时而语无伦次的表现。拜登表示,他将继续担任总统至明年一月。
