After withdrawal from campaign - Son and granddaughter praise US-President Joe Biden
Joe Biden's Family Stands Behind Him: After US President Joe Biden (81) announced on July 21 that he was dropping out of the presidential race, his son and granddaughter came forward in public. Jill Biden (73), the First Lady, expressed her feelings through Emojis: The First Lady bid farewell to her husband's writing on X (formerly Twitter) with two red hearts.
Granddaughter Naomi Biden (30), the granddaughter of the president, was more eloquent. She posted a longer message shortly after the news broke. She was "just proud" of her grandfather, "who has served our country with every fiber of his soul and with unparalleled distinction." She continued on X with a heartfelt tribute: "He was not only the most effective president of our time - and will remain so - but has likely already established himself as one of the most effective and influential public servants in the history of our nation." Thanks to her grandfather, she added, "the world is better in so many ways today."
Son Hunter Biden (54) then released a statement from Naomi Biden's father, Hunter Biden. He is the second son of Joe Biden and his first wife Neilia (1942-1972), who, along with their one-year-old daughter Naomi, were killed in a car accident. "I have always held my father in the highest esteem. How could he endure so much pain and still give so much of what was left in him to others?" the statement read. "Not just in terms of politics, but also in terms of the lives of individual people he has touched." He had seen how his father "absorbed the pain of countless ordinary Americans." "This unconditional love was his guiding star as president and as a father. He is unique in public life today because there is no distance between Joe Biden, the man, and Joe Biden, the public servant of the last 54 years."
Joe Biden's brother Frank Biden (71) fueled rumors about his health condition in an interview with "ABC News." He explained that, in his opinion, Biden's withdrawal had to do with his "general health and vitality, not cognitive issues. But he's a proud guy, it makes him angry that he limps when he walks." Biden had not explained the reason for his withdrawal from the race. Speculation and debate about Biden's health condition have been ongoing for weeks. However, since he intends to remain in office until the end of his term in January 2025, he will not allow any further doubts about his fitness to arise.
Joe Biden has been the 46th President of the United States since January 20, 2021. Originally, he intended to run for re-election for the Democrats on November 5 and face off against Donald Trump (78). On July 21, he announced on his social media platforms that "it was the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president. And although I intended to run for re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to retire and focus solely on the performance of my duties as president." It is still undecided who will be the Democratic candidate.
