Amid a flood of responses from both sides of the aisle, former President Barack Obama has come forward to offer high praise for Biden, whom he described as a "patriot of the highest order." Obama emphasized that Biden had put the country's interests ahead of his own, marking his tenure with significant achievements both domestically and internationally.

 

Barack Obama expressed deep gratitude towards Biden, calling him a "dear friend and partner." He and his wife, Michelle, thanked Joe and Jill Biden for their courageous leadership during challenging times. Obama highlighted Biden’s fundamental decency and his belief that everyone counts, praising his success in passing the first major piece of gun safety legislation in 30 years and mobilizing international opposition to Russian aggression in Ukraine. Obama acknowledged the uncertainty facing the Democratic Party but expressed confidence in the party's ability to find an outstanding nominee.

 

Vice President Kamala Harris, now a potential Democratic nominee, also paid tribute to Biden. She shared that she got to know Biden through his son Beau, with whom she worked closely. Harris praised Biden for his honesty, integrity, and commitment to faith and family. She expressed honor at having Biden’s endorsement and her determination to earn and win the nomination.

 

Bill and Hillary Clinton joined in the chorus of praise, lauding Biden’s "extraordinary" career of service. They credited him with lifting America out of an unprecedented pandemic, creating millions of new jobs, rebuilding the economy, and strengthening democracy. They endorsed Kamala Harris, calling for a united effort to elect her in the upcoming election.

 

California Governor Gavin Newsom, touted as a possible presidential candidate, described Biden as an "extraordinary, history-making president" who has delivered "astonishing results for all Americans." He predicted that Biden would be remembered as one of the most impactful and selfless presidents in U.S. history.

 

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hailed Biden for putting the country and the party first, describing him as a true patriot. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi echoed these sentiments, emphasizing Biden’s legacy of vision, values, and leadership. She called him one of the most consequential presidents in American history and credited him with bringing greatness and goodness to the nation.

 

Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison expressed gratitude for Biden's service and emphasized the need for a transparent and orderly process to choose a candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in November. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer commended Biden for his work on lowering prescription drug costs, addressing climate change, and ensuring America’s global leadership. She pledged to do everything possible to elect Democrats and stop Trump.

 

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg praised Biden’s place among the best and most consequential presidents in American history, expressing pride in serving under his leadership. Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal thanked Biden for his incredible work and endorsed Kamala Harris, highlighting the historic significance of her potential presidency as the first South Asian American and Black woman to hold the office. Jayapal called for unity within the Democratic Party to focus on winning the November election.

 

As Joe Biden plans to serve out the remainder of his term until January 20, 2025, the Democratic Party faces the challenge of selecting a new candidate to lead the charge in the 2024 presidential election. Biden’s departure adds a new layer of complexity and urgency to an already tense and divided political landscape. The praise from prominent Democrats underscores the profound impact of Biden’s presidency and sets the stage for the party's next steps in a rapidly evolving election cycle.

For him?  Have you lived through his policies?

Yep. No prob at all, despite not being onboard with all of them. Never been onboard with all of any POTUS policies. 

 

President Biden did a great job for his 1 term as POTUS. And now he's made the right and honorable move by stepping aside. :coffee1:
