"Joe Biden has been one of Americas most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, weve also been reminded again that hes a patriot of the highest order.
"Sixteen years ago, when I began my search for a vice president, I knew about Joes remarkable career in public service. But what I came to admire even more was his character his deep empathy and hard-earned resilience; his fundamental decency and belief that everyone counts.
"Since taking office, President Biden has displayed that character again and again. He helped end the pandemic, created millions of jobs, lowered the cost of prescription drugs, passed the first major piece of gun safety legislation in 30 years, made the biggest investment to address climate change in history, and fought to ensure the rights of working people to organize for fair wages and benefits. Internationally, he restored Americas standing in the world, revitalized NATO, and mobilized the world to stand up against Russian aggression in Ukraine.
"More than that, President Biden pointed us away from the four years of chaos, falsehood, and division that had characterized Donald Trumps administration. Through his policies and his example, Joe has reminded us of who we are at our best a country committed to old-fashioned values like trust and honesty, kindness and hard work; a country that believes in democracy, rule of law, and accountability; a country that insists that everyone, no matter who they are, has a voice and deserves a chance at a better life." https://barackobama.medium.com/my-statement-on-president-bidens-announcement-1eb78b3ba3fc
