Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race is the first case in the last half-century.
Last time, in 1968, the current US president, Lyndon Johnson, withdrew from the elections.
The USA was fully involved in the Vietnam War during Lyndon Johnson's presidency. This was one reason Johnson could not expand the number of his supporters and was forced to abandon the idea of re-election.
