Barack Obama shared a statement of support for Joe Biden on Sunday after he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. In doing so, he described the 81-year-old as “one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me.” When Biden made his announcement, he endorsed his Vice President, Kamala Harris, to run in his stead. Obama, on the other hand, stopped short of doing so.
“I also know Joe has never backed down from a fight,” Obama wrote. “For him to look at the political landscape and decide that he should pass the torch to a new nominee is surely one of the toughest in his life. But I know he wouldn’t make this decision unless he believed it was right for America. It’s a testament to Joe Biden’s love of country — and a historic example of a genuine public servant once again putting the interests of the American people ahead of his own that future generations of leaders will do well to follow.”
