Shortly after US President Joe Biden announced he would not run for a second term, his Republican opponent Donald Trump said that “crooked Biden wasn’t fit to run” for president and that Vice President Kamala Harris will be “easier to defeat” in November’s election

“All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social network on Sunday.

“We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he added.

Biden, 81, ended his re-election campaign after fellow Democrats lost faith in his mental acuity and ability to beat Trump. The oldest sitting US president endorsed Harris to replace him as the party’s candidate.
