Jill Biden shares short tribute to husband Joe after he dropped out of the race as granddaughter Naomi says she is proud of her ‘pop’
Joe Biden’s family immediately rallied behind him after he made the shock announcement that he would end his re-election campaign.
Jill Biden sent him her love and retweeted his letter with two red hearts.
Naomi Biden, the Bidens’ eldest granddaughter, wrote a lengthy message on X, saying she was “proud” of her “daddy,” as the grandchildren call President Biden.
President Biden offered his support to his running mate, Kamala Harris, after leaving office. The move throws the presidential race into chaos but gives Democrats time to get their act together before their convention in August.
Biden, 81, who is suffering from COVID, is at home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with his wife, Jill. They have been holed up there with his closest advisers and pondering their political future.
He was under enormous pressure from people within his party to resign after his poor performance during the debate with Donald Trump.
His family, who played an important role in his decision, supported him.
“I am nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden, who has served our country with all his soul and with unmatched distinction. He has not only been and will continue to be the most effective president of our lifetime, but he has already established himself as arguably the most effective and impactful public servant in the history of our country,” Naomi Biden wrote on X.
“He was at the center of, and had a material impact on, literally every major issue that our country and the world have faced for 50 years. Our world is better today in so many ways because of him. To the Americans who have always relied on him, keep the faith. He will always rely on us.”
