President Joe Biden has announced his decision not to seek re-election.
In a letter dated July 21, 2024 and addressed to the American people, President Biden highlighted the substantial progress the nation has made under his leadership over the past three and a half years.
President Biden detailed the remarkable achievements of his administration, including the strengthening of the U.S. economy, which he proudly described as the strongest in the world. He emphasized historic investments in rebuilding the nation, reducing prescription drug costs for seniors and providing access to affordable healthcare for a record number of Americans. In addition, his administration provided critical care to a million toxic-exposed veterans, passed the first gun safety legislation in 30 years, appointed the first African-American woman to the Supreme Court and enacted the most significant climate legislation in history.
The President expressed his deep gratitude to the American people, recognizing that these achievements would not have been possible without their collective efforts. He highlighted the resilience of the nation, which has overcome a unique pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. In addition, he highlighted the preservation of democracy and the revitalization of alliances around the world as key achievements of his tenure.
Although he had intended to seek re-election, President Biden said he believed it was in the best interests of his party and the country for him to step aside and focus solely on carrying out his duties until the end of his term. This decision marks an important moment in American politics, as President Biden underscores the importance of prioritizing the well-being of the nation over political ambitions.
In his letter, President Biden expressed his deep gratitude to all those who worked tirelessly to support his re-election efforts. In particular, he thanked Vice President Kamala Harris for her extraordinary partnership, and expressed his deep gratitude to the American people for their faith and trust in his leadership.
Resident Biden reaffirmed his faith in the unlimited potential of the American people, emphasizing that there is nothing the nation cannot accomplish when united. He concluded his letter with a call for continued unity and reminded the nation of its strength and resilience.
Resident Biden announced that he would address the nation later this week to provide more details about his decision and the future direction of his administration.
This announcement opens a new chapter in American politics, as the country prepares for the next presidential election. Resident Biden’s tenure will be remembered for its significant achievements and enduring message of unity and progress.
