Members of the president's family rally round after the 81-year-old withdraws his bid for re-election in the face of mounting pressure.
First Lady Jill Biden and Hunter Biden have responded to Joe Biden's announcement that he is stepping down from the presidential race. Dr Biden, whose loyalty to the president has been unswerving during their 47 years of marriage, shared his historic statement on social media platform X and added a simple heart emoji. Hunter Biden said that for his 'entire life' he had looked at his father 'in awe'.
'Not only has he been - and will continue to be - the most effective president of our lifetime, but he has likely already cemented himself as the most effective and impactful public servant in our nation's history. 'He has been at the centre of, and had a material impact on, literally every single major issue that our country and world has faced for 50 years. Our world is better today in so many ways thanks to him. 'To the Americans who have always had his back, keep the faith.
