White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre underlined on Wednesday at a press briefing that United States President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race wasn't made in light of any health issues, Paralel.Az reports citing BBN.

While she didn't want to elaborate further on the move, as Biden is set to speak on the matter later in the day, she reassured the public that this "had nothing to do with his health."

The press secretary revealed that the decision was made "in a very short period of time," over the weekend.
