Washington D.C. – Following President Biden’s announcement that he will step aside from the presidential race, People For the American WayPresident Svante Myrick released the following statement:
“Today Joe Biden showed us what leadership is all about. His decision to step aside in this critical moment demonstrates the kind of selfless patriotism that Donald Trump is incapable of even imagining. We are deeply grateful to President Biden. He saved democracy by defeating Donald Trump in 2020, and his term has been among the most successful ever. He led our country out of the COVID-19 crisis, restoring our economy and creating opportunity for millions of Americans. The stellar and diverse group of judges he has placed on the bench will serve for decades, striving to uphold rights and freedoms for all. His long career in the Senate is a testament to his belief that government is a force for good that can transform the lives of real people. Now is the time to go forward with a renewed commitment to defeating Trump and his increasingly fascist MAGA movement in November.”
