Their endorsement underscores the unity within the Democratic Party as it pivots towards the future.
Speaking at Columbia University, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised President Biden for his “extraordinary leadership” and lauded his decision as a testament to his commitment to prioritizing the nation’s needs over personal ambition.
“President Biden’s leadership has been instrumental in navigating the country through some of its most challenging times,” Clinton remarked. “His decision to step aside is a selfless act that demonstrates his dedication to our country’s future.”
Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, echoed Clinton’s sentiments, emphasizing Biden’s numerous accomplishments during his tenure.
“President Biden has laid a solid foundation for the future of the Democratic Party,” Pelosi said. “His achievements in healthcare, economic recovery, and climate action have set the stage for continued progress.”
Both Clinton and Pelosi expressed confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been endorsed by Biden as the new presidential nominee.
