A-list actors and Democratic Party supporters Mark Hamill and Barbra Streisand have praised Joe Biden and thanked him for his service following his withdrawal from the US presidential race.

The American president ended his bid for re-election on Sunday following mounting pressure to step aside following the June 27 debate with Republican rival Donald Trump.
