Being in that position at the top of a large company can easily become an advantage. Even more so, if you're the US president, it's almost impossible to kick him out of that position. For that reason, the fact that US President Biden withdrew from the election campaign on the 21st has an important meaning. The Democratic Party candidate who will face off against former President Trump, the Republican candidate in the presidential election on November 5 in place of him will face the battle from a standpoint that does not involve the power or risk of the incumbent.
It can also be said that it is surprising that Mr. Biden did not decide to withdraw sooner. Anxiety about old age has overshadowed his activities over the past year and a half leading up to his re-election. Dozens of members of the Democratic Party have called for withdrawal from the election since they made a blunder at the end of June with Mr. Trump.
