GREENWICH, CT – JUL. 21, 2024 – In a letter published today, President Biden, citing the significant, historic achievements under his administration, relayed his decision to stand down from seeking reelection.
Greenwich Democratic Town Committee (GDTC) Chair Christina Downey released the following statement in response:
“We thank President Biden for his decades of public service. His presidency has been one for the record books, with inflation trending down, crime rates continuing to decrease, a strong job market, and a post pandemic economic recovery that’s the envy of other countries. His decision to put aside personal ambitions and usher in a new generation of Democratic leadership demonstrates the integrity that has marked his presidency and indeed his entire career, and underscores his commitment to America.”
“The past few weeks have been tumultuous. The good news is that this moment presents a renewed sense of hope for Americans who are eager to rally around a candidate who represents all Americans, and who is committed to protecting and preserving our democracy.”
