It was actually a coup by the Democrats. It was a coup of a man (Joe Biden) who had 14 million votes. He wanted to contest the election. They did not let him contest. They treated him very badly. They told Biden that we can do it (withdraw from the presidential candidate) in a good way, or we can do it in a hard way. It was a coup with the presidency.
Democrats threatened Biden under the 25th Amendment
Also, 78-year-old Trump alleged that the Democrats threatened Biden under the 25th Amendment. The Democrats said that Joe Biden, we will threaten you under the 25th Amendment. You are not physically fit. If you do not leave, we will expel you under the 25th Amendment.”

This rule gives the Vice President as well as the Cabinet the power to remove the President from office if he is considered physically incapacitated.
Biden himself announced his withdrawal from the presidential elections
