Biden is one of few presidents to end a reelection campaign: Who were the others?

(NEXSTAR) – With President Biden dropping out of the 2024 race, he becomes one of only a few past presidents who decided to end their campaign for reelection.

Biden’s withdrawal, though, comes later than any previous incumbent candidate’s.

In recent weeks, Biden had insisted he would continue his campaign despite concerns over his age and mental acuity. But after calls from former supporters and high-ranking Democrats, the president dropped out on Sunday, July 21 — less than four months from the election.
