I agree with your statement, “I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America’s future all merited a second term, but nothing can come in the way of saving democracy.  That includes personal ambition.”

When I first heard that you were stopping your campaign, I was relieved, but then quickly I was sad that you will not be able to continue working for the American people and accomplishing your goals. I do believe your presidency has been one the most productive and beneficial in our country’s history. You led us out of the COVID pandemic with the strongest rebound in the world shown by higher growth, lower unemployment and lower inflation than any other industrial nation, while avoiding a predicted recession. Today America is in its strongest position over China in years. Our economy is driving the world’s growth and we are stronger militarily than we have been in years, making us the envy of our friends and enemies. You renewed our global partnerships, strengthening NATO and supporting Ukraine.  

These concrete accomplishments are important, but also vitally important is the tone you have set for the nation. These days, it is easy to question whether we still believe in honesty, decency, respect, justice and democracy. You have modeled those for us. Thank you, Joe Biden, and Godspeed.
