On July 21, Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, endorsing current Vice President Kamala Harris to run as the candidate for the democratic party against current republican party nominee Donald Trump.

"Let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me."

"Not only has he been—and will continue to be—the most effective president of our lifetime," Naomi—the daughter of Hunter Biden and Kathleen Buhle—added, "but he has likely already cemented himself as the most effective and impactful public servant in our nation’s history. He has been at the center of, and had a material impact on, literally every single major issue that our country and world has faced for 50 years."
The 30-year-old went on to note that the world is better today thanks to her grandfather.
"To the Americans who have always had his back, keep the faith," she concluded. "He will always have ours."

And Barbra Streisand weighed in on Biden's legacy.
