In a surprising announcement, President Joe Biden has declared that he will not seek reelection for a second term. In an official statement released today, Biden emphasized the accomplishments of his administration and expressed his gratitude to the American people for their support.
“Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation,” Biden stated. He highlighted significant achievements, including historic investments in rebuilding the nation, lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and expanding affordable health care. The President also noted the provision of critical care to veterans exposed to toxic substances, the passage of the first gun safety law in 30 years, and the appointment of the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. Additionally, his administration passed the most significant climate legislation in the world’s history.
Biden attributed these successes to the collective effort of the American people. “Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected and preserved our Democracy, and we’ve revitalized and strengthened our alliances around the world,” he said.
Despite his initial intention to seek reelection, Biden stated that he believes it is in the best interest of his party and the country for him to step aside. He will focus on fulfilling his duties as President for the remainder of his term. Biden plans to address the nation later this week to provide more details about his decision.
In his statement, Biden extended his gratitude to all who worked towards his reelection and thanked Vice President Kamala Harris for her extraordinary partnership. He also expressed heartfelt appreciation to the American people for their trust and support.
“I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can’t do – when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America,” Biden concluded.
This announcement marks a significant shift in the political landscape as the Democratic Party prepares for the upcoming 2024 Presidential election.
