In the upcoming month, First Lady Jill Biden and President Joe Biden will leave the White House after the 2024 presidential election season, during which the president decided not to run for re-election after securing enough victories to be named his party's presumptive nominee.

After a poor debate performance and pressure from his own party members, Biden withdrew from the race and backed Vice President Harris.
