Biden added that he will focus on fulfilling his duties as president for the next six months.
Here are the highlights of his statement:
- Vice President Kamala Harris Biden described her as “experienced, resilient, capable” and called her an incredible partner and leader for the country.
- For the rest of his term, the US president will focus on the economy, defending civil rights, combating gun violence and the climate crisis, and reforming the US Supreme Court.
- Biden listed Ukraine among his foreign policy priorities and said he would “continue to rally a coalition of proud nations to stop Putin from taking over Ukraine and doing more harm.”
Biden has been the US President since 2021. He was the Democratic Party’s leading candidate in the current election, but after unsuccessful debates with Trump and criticism, he decided to withdraw from the race and support Kamala Harris as a new candidate.
