Joe Biden, the President of the United States, has made the decision to withdraw from his pursuit of re-election. This move comes amidst mounting pressure following a challenging debate last month, which led some members of his party to question whether he should continue his candidacy. Biden announced his decision through a statement shared across his social media platforms, emphasizing his intention to focus solely on his responsibilities as President.
In his message, Biden expressed, "It has been the greatest honor of my life to be your President. While I initially intended to seek re-election, I believe that stepping back is in the best interest of my party and the country. My focus will now be on fulfilling my obligations as President for the remainder of my term." He also mentioned that he would address the nation later this week with more details regarding his decision. Currently, he is on leave after testing positive for COVID-19.
Biden acknowledged the significant work he has accomplished in the past three years since taking office. He thanked his team and the citizens who placed their trust in him. "We have made tremendous progress as a nation. Today, America boasts the strongest economy in the world. We have made historic investments in rebuilding our nation, reducing prescription drug costs for seniors, and expanding affordable healthcare to a record number of Americans. Furthermore, we have provided critical care to one million veterans exposed to toxic substances. We passed the first gun safety law in 30 years, appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court, and enacted the most significant climate legislation in the nation’s history. America has never been better positioned to lead than it is today," he stated.
Biden expressed his gratitude not only to the American people but also specifically to his Vice President, Kamala Harris. "I want to extend my deepest thanks to everyone who has worked tirelessly to support my re-election. I am particularly grateful to Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner throughout this journey. And let me sincerely thank the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me."
He concluded his message on an optimistic note, asserting, "Today, I believe in what I have always believed: that there is nothing America cannot achieve when we work together. We just need to remember that we are the United States of America."
In his statement, Biden reaffirmed that unity among the American people is essential for progress, highlighting the challenges they have collectively overcome, including a once-in-a-century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Biden’s decision marks a significant moment as he chooses to prioritize the responsibilities of his presidency over the campaign, reflecting a keen awareness of the dynamics within his party and the nation.
