United States President Joe Biden in a recent interview explained his reasons for stepping down from the 2024 presidential race and one of them being his age.

Last month, Biden revealed he will not seek re-election this year. The decision came after increasing worries about his health and a poor debate performance against Donald Trump.

During the interview, Biden stated, 바카라When I ran the first time, I thought of myself as being a transition presiden,바카라 and he continued to say, 바카라I can't even say how old I am 바카라 it's hard for me to get it out of my mouth.바카라

Further Biden highlighted the responsibility of a Democratic nominee to defeat Trump.

바카라Although it's a great honour to be a president, I think I have an obligation to the country to do what I -- most important thing you can do. And that is 바카라 we must, we must, we must defeat Trump,바카라 he stated. 

When questioned about his confidence in a smooth transfer of power in January 2025, Biden responded, 바카라If Trump loses(sic), I'm not confident at all. He means what he says. We don't take him seriously.바카라
