Gambiaj.com – President Joe Biden said that he endorses Vice President Kamala Harris after he announced his decision not to run in November.
“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats, it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this,” Biden said in a post on X.
He said picking Harris as his running mate in 2020 has “been the best decision I’ve made.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer praised President Joe Biden for putting “his party and our future first.”
“Joe Biden has not only been a great president and a great legislative leader, but he is a truly amazing human being. His decision, of course, was not easy, but he once again put his country, his party, and our future first,” Schumer said.
“Joe, today shows you are a true patriot and great American,” he added.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat running for reelection in battleground Wisconsin, thanked President Joe Biden for making the decision to not seek reelection.
“It has been an honor to work with Joe Biden to deliver real, meaningful change for working Wisconsinites across our state. Today, seniors are paying less for their prescription drugs; our state has been put to work rebuilding our infrastructure, and millions of Wisconsinites with preexisting conditions have health care coverage because of the work we’ve done together,” she said in a statement.
“Throughout all of that work, I’ve been inspired by his decency, integrity, and dedication to service, and I am deeply grateful for that. Thank you, President Biden,” she continued.
Baldwin had been careful about how she navigated her relationship with the president on the campaign trail, choosing to make her own campaign stops across the state in early July, when Biden held his first post-debate rally in Madison.
