U.S. President Joe Biden will resign on Sunday to his presidential election in November. “I have decided not to accept the appointment and to focus all my forces in office until the end of my term of office,” the current president said on social media. He highlighted the "achievements" during the four years in which he was in office: “Together we overcome the biggest economic crisis since the pandemic and the Great Depression. We have defended and cared for our democracy,” he said. In addition, he said that this week he will speak "more specifically" of the decision taken by the Council of Gipuzkoa.

Along with this announcement, she has offered "all her support and support" to Democrat Kamala Harris to be the candidate in her place and stressed that "it's time to get together and defeat Trump." Harris has thanked Biden, through social media, for the “service provided for decades” to the United States. He has assured that having the support of the president is "an honour" and has confirmed that he will present himself for the Democratic Party to nominate him a candidate in the convention to be held in August.

Praise Biden

In the United States, Barack Obama has praised Biden’s mandate in a joint statement posted on his blog. “He has been one of the most important presidents of the United States,” and along with his wife, they have given “thanks” to Joe and Jill Biden for their “commitment to the ideals of freedom and equality.” Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton have issued a joint statement in which they have referred to Biden's "surprising" mandate, which he has described as "sovereign."

At the international level, Pedro Sánchez expressed his “admiration and recognition” of Biden’s decision and stressed that “he has always fought for democracy and freedom”. Volodymir Zelensky thanked Biden “for his support for Ukraine’s fight for freedom” and said that “they respect a difficult and tough decision”. Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Biden for the recognition and said he did "a lot" for Israel.

Trump, "The Worst President in History"

Republicans have responded to Biden's announcement. Donald Trump has affirmed through social media that he has been and will be the "worst president in history" of the United States and that he has done "everything possible to destroy the United States." He has denounced that he took office through "lies" and "fake news", in allusion to abuses. The Biden command for four years has ensured that "millions of people cross the border without control or investigation" and that there is "a record number of terrorists" in the country. The president underlined that he was ‘shot down’ by ‘corrupt and radical democrats’, he added.

He also referred to the state of health of the president who has been at the heart of the political debate in recent weeks: “The people of Biden lie to America about their mental, physical and cognitive disappearance. Joe Biden will wake up tomorrow and forget he's left the race."

Trump has also referred to Harris's possible candidacy and said it will be "much easier to beat than Biden," in statements to CNN.
