As he recovers from COVID at his Delaware beach house, President Joe Biden confirmed Sunday afternoon he will not run for a second term. Elected leaders from across New York weighed in on the President’s decision:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer:
“Joe Biden has not only been a great president and a great legislative leader but he is a truly amazing human being. His decision of course was not easy, but he once again put his country, his party, and our future first.
“Joe, today shows you are a true patriot and great American.”
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand:
“President Biden has served our country with courage, compassion, integrity and decency. I am honored to have served in the Senate during his administration, which achieved historic accomplishments related to gun safety, veterans’ health care, infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, climate change, prescription drugs, and more. President Biden has improved the lives of millions of Americans and leaves behind a legacy that will echo for generations. On behalf of myself and every New Yorker: Thank you, Joe.”
Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY-21):
“If Joe Biden can’t run for re-election, he is unable and unfit to serve as President of the United States. He must immediately resign.
The Democrat Party is in absolute free fall for their blatantly corrupt and desperate attempt to cover up the fact that Joe Biden is unfit for office.
Every elected Democrat in America owns Joe Biden’s failed and feckless record causing the border crisis, Bidenflation, and chaos and weakness around the world.
President Trump will win this November to save America.”
