President Biden is an extraordinary American whose entire life has been dedicated to this great nation. I want to express my immense gratitude for his leadership. Over the past four years, President Biden has made this country stronger. He fought for the soul of this nation, and I believe it is a fight he has won. He led with decency and moral clarity. President Biden knows more than anyone the profound stakes of this election. He knows the grave threat to our freedoms and to the future of our country that Donald Trump and a Republican Senate majority pose. That’s…

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. 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.

President Joe Biden announced he is dropping out of the presidential race. Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s new nominee.

"Crooked Joe Biden is a complete fraud and a disgrace to our Country. Biden has left our borders wide open, allowing up to 20 million illegal aliens to enter the United States, creating a Biden Migrant Crime Wave and taxing precious resources. Biden has taken our once-great economy and ruined it, creating record inflation and causing Americans to have to choose between groceries and gas. Biden has been so weak, pathetic, and incompetent as a leader that he allowed 13 American servicemembers to be killed in Afghanistan, which set off a chain reaction that caused Putin to invade Ukraine and…

Congressman David Trone (D-MD) released the following statement following President Joe Biden withdrawing as the 2024 Democratic Nominee “President Joe Biden stepped up to serve America in its hour of need. When facing a man who puts himself over the American people and undermines our nation’s most sacred values, Joe Biden stood tall. “President Biden’s leadership has brought our nation into a new era of industry and innovation, driving down unemployment to historic lows and bolstering economic opportunity for millions of Americans today and millions more tomorrow. Unequivocally, his presidency has brought brighter days to America and its future. “I…

U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) released the following statement regarding President Biden “Joe Biden has time and again shown our nation the true meaning of a dedicated public servant. Over the last four years – and throughout his decades of prior service – he has delivered on behalf of the American people, working to better the lives of millions, while never forgetting where he came from and who he was fighting for. President Biden has always put our country first, and in making this decision, he has once again done what he thinks is best for the future of…

Joe Biden is a friend, and has been a passionate public servant throughout his lifetime, putting the needs of this nation first time and again. As president, he has led an administration that for nearly four years has helped our nation, helped our people and has created hope and opportunity where there was sickness, despair and inequality. Unemployment is at historic lows, small businesses creation is at record highs and the Fed is on the cusp of cutting interest rates again because inflation is in check. America has earned back respect and leadership around the free world. For all this…

Larry Hogan posted the following on his social media in reaction to President Biden's decision to leave the Presidential race: I respect President Biden for his decades of public service. I believe he made the right decision for his family and the country. These are dangerous and unprecedented times. He should be commended for putting the country ahead of personal ambition. The only way out of this cycle of chaos, divisiveness and dysfunction is to elect principled, common sense and experienced leaders who will focus on the day-to-day challenges facing Americans. We need less palace intrigue, less partisan nonsense, and…
