1. US President Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race. He has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic Party’s nominee to take on Republican Donald Trump in November. Biden made the announcements on his X account on Sunday. He says it is “in the best interest” of his party and the country for him to stand down to focus solely on fulfilling his duties as president for the remainder of his term. 2. An American historian and expert on US presidential elections says the Democrats may still have a very good chance of winning in November if they unite behind the new candidate. American University Professor Allan Lichtman made the remark in an online interview with NHK after President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the November race. Lichtman is known for correcting predicting the outcomes of many presidential elections. Lichtman said it is an “incredibly profound development for the sitting president to step down from the race just before the party convention.
3. Japan’s Prime Minister Kishida Fumio says he thinks that US President Joe Biden decided to drop out of the presidential race as Biden believed it was the best political judgment. Kishida added that it goes without saying that the Japan-Us alliance is the cornerstone of his country’s diplomacy and security. Kishida said he will closely monitor future developments.
