Rep. Shri Thanedar’s Statement on Biden Exiting Presidential Race

Washington, DC - Joe Biden has been a historic president and has shown an unimpeachable dedication to serving every American.

His decision to step down today was just another example of this leadership and patriotism. His term as the 46th President was one of historic climate investments, infrastructure improvements, record-low unemployment, lower drug prices, increased gun control, and support for the working American.

These changes will be revered and remembered for decades to come. However, now is the time to pass the torch to the next champion of these ideals: Kamala Harris. I offer her my full support as she fights to defend our democracy and defeat Donald Trump in November.
