that safeguarding the country’s democracy transcends personal ambition.
In his eulogy of Kamala Harris, the US President praised her as experienced, tough, and capable of leading the country.
“My fellow Americans,
It has been the honor of my life to serve as your President. I draw strength and joy from working for the people. However, the sacred task of perfecting our Union is not about me. It is about you. Your families. Your futures. It is about ‘We the People.'”
This is a paraphrase of the sentiment expressed by President Joe Biden.
America stands at an inflection point. We face a choice between moving forward or backward, between hope and hate, between unity and division. We must decide: Do we still uphold honesty, decency, and respect? Do we cherish freedom, justice, and democracy?
The cause of our country is sacred and transcends any individual. Those of us who value American democracy must come together and unite to safeguard it.
In the coming six months, my primary focus will be on fulfilling my duties as President. This includes further reducing costs for hard-working families and bolstering our economy.
I remain committed to defending our personal freedoms and civil rights, ranging from the right to vote to reproductive choice.
I will continue to denounce hate and extremism unequivocally, emphasizing that political violence, or any form of violence, has no place in America now or in the future.
I will continue to advocate for the protection of our children from gun violence and our planet from the climate crisis. Saving our democracy is an absolute priority, and nothing will hinder that mission.
“And that includes setting aside personal ambition. Therefore, I have decided that the best path forward is to pass the torch to a new generation, as this is the most effective way to unite our nation.
In just a few months, the American people will determine the course of our country’s future. I have made my choice. I want to express my gratitude to our exceptional Vice President, Kamala Harris. She is experienced, resilient, and capable. Kamala has been an outstanding partner to me and a leader for our nation.
It has been my privilege to serve this nation for over 50 years, dedicating my heart and soul, as countless others have done.”
“And in return, I have been blessed a million times over with the love and support of the American people. I hope you understand how deeply grateful I am to all of you.
The remarkable thing about America is that here, kings and dictators do not govern. The power lies with the people. History rests in your hands. The power rests in your hands. The essence of America resides in your hands.
We simply need to maintain our faith and remember our identity. We are the UNITED States of America, and there is nothing we cannot achieve—when we stand together.”
