In a surprising turn of events, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. has announced his decision not to seek reelection. The announcement came in a heartfelt letter addressed to the American people, highlighting the achievements of his administration and his gratitude for the support he has received.
President Biden's letter, dated July 21, 2024, begins by reflecting on the significant progress made during his administration. He emphasizes the strength of the American economy, historic investments in healthcare, and significant legislative achievements, including the appointment of the first African American woman to the Supreme Court and major climate legislation.
"Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation," Biden writes.
"America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today."
Biden acknowledges the challenges overcome together with the American people, including the pandemic and the economic crisis, and expresses his deep gratitude for the trust placed in him.
The letter continues with Biden's decision to not seek reelection, citing the best interests of his party and the country as the primary reasons. He expresses his appreciation to Vice President Kamala Harris for her partnership and to the American people for their support.
“I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term," Biden states.
In addition to the letter, President Biden shared his decision on X, further explaining his reasons and expressing his commitment to continue serving the American people.
President Biden is expected to address the nation later this week to provide more details about his decision and the future of his administration.
The announcement marks a significant moment in American politics, setting the stage for a new chapter in the leadership of the United States.
