“On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country,” wrote Madam Vice President in an official statement shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“His remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many Presidents who have served two terms in office.”
She went on to recount how “deeply grateful” she is for Biden and his family including First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and his late son Beau who told her about the President’s “honesty and integrity” and “his love of our country and the American people.”
“With this selfless and patriotic act, President Biden is doing what he has done throughout his life of service: putting the American people and our country above everything else,” she added of President Biden’s decision to not seek reelection.
She then confirmed that she was “honored to have the President’s endorsement” and said she intended to “earn and win this nomination.”
“Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. “We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”
Her statement comes amid President Barack Obama and Forever Flotus Michelle Obama releasing a joint statement backing her.
