by

As a dedicated follower of current events and politics, I was taken aback by President Joe Biden’s sudden announcement to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race against Donald Trump. The emotional statement he made on Sunday left me in awe, as he prioritized his current responsibilities over his intentions to seek reelection.

On Sunday, President Joe Biden surprised the country by declaring his decision to abandon his re-election bid for the 2024 presidency against Donald Trump. In a heartfelt address, the 81-year-old leader explained his motivations and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate, sparking a flurry of responses from famous personalities on social media.

President Biden’s announcement

President Biden made the announcement that he would not be running for re-election, choosing instead to concentrate fully on his current role as president. In his statement, he expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to serve as president and acknowledged his initial intention to seek another term. However, he ultimately decided that it was in the best interests of his party and the country for him to step aside and devote all of his energies to completing his current term.

I’m absolutely thrilled and proud to declare my wholehearted endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming Democratic Party nomination. In his recent statement, President Biden expressed his strong belief that she’s the ideal candidate to carry on our party’s values and vision.

George Takei, famously recognized for his Star Trek character, commended Biden’s action regarding X (previously Twitter). In his post, he expressed his respect for our president, Joe Biden. With a long history of dedicated service to our nation, Biden is considered a good, ethical man, an accomplished president, and a devoted patriot. He further urged, “Let us now come together behind Kamala Harris and defeat Donald Trump in November.”

Lil Nas X wrote on Biden’s Instagram post, “Wow It’s really over,” capturing the sentiment of many.

I, as an ardent fan of John Legend, couldn’t help but be thrilled when I saw him expressing his support for President Biden and Vice President Harris on Instagram. In my opinion, Joe Biden’s first term has been the most remarkable period of genuine progress I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. I am deeply grateful for his grace and patriotism in putting the country before himself by stepping down to make way for a new leadership.

Barack Obama, a previous US president, spoke about X, acknowledging Biden’s impact. “Joe Biden has left a significant mark on America’s history and is not only a cherished friend and collaborator for me but also a true American patriot.”

Mark Hamill, famously recognized for his part in Star Wars, expressed admiration for President Biden. In his own words, Hamill highlighted how Biden has achieved more than any other president during our lifetime. He emphasized that Biden brought back trustworthiness, respectability, and moral fiber to the White House following a tumultuous four-year tenure marked by deceit, misconduct, and disorder.

Barbra Streisand showed appreciation for X, acknowledging Joe Biden’s achievements during his presidency. She believed that history would remember him as a leader who made a substantial impact in just four years. Additionally, she emphasized the importance of being thankful for his commitment to upholding our democratic values.

Some reactions were mixed, with Cher voicing concerns about the Democrats’ prospects without Joe Biden. She shared her inner turmoil, admitting that she has deep affection for Biden since their 2008 encounter but is uncertain if the Democrats can secure the presidency with “President Biden” or “Joe.” Despite her past support and belief in it being his time to lead, she expressed doubts about handing over the mantle.

As someone who closely follows American politics, I strongly believe that Dave Portnoy’s recent video critique of Kamala Harris’ nomination process raises valid concerns. Based on my observation and analysis, it seems unlikely that Harris would have been the Democratic Party’s nominee if Joe Biden had not dropped out before the primaries and instead faced off against other candidates.

Cardi B enthusiastically endorsed Harris as a potential Democratic nominee on X, exclaiming, “Hehehehe, let’s goooo! I told you all that Kamala was supposed to run in 2024…Stop messing with me!!!”

Ariana Grande expressed her backing by reposting Biden’s endorsement of Kamala Harris on her Instagram Story, including a registration-to-vote link.

Jamie Lee Curtis openly showed her approval for Joe Biden’s choice to resign and Kamala Harris as his running mate on Instagram. She explicitly declared her commitment to Biden and his departure, while also wholeheartedly backing Harris. She described Harris as dependable and proven, highlighting her advocacy for women’s rights and racial equality. Her message, according to Curtis, is one of optimism and unity for America during this period of deep national discord.
