His dropping out came amid growing pressure from within his party after his cataclysmic debate performance against Trump.
Biden added that Harris “stepped up and led a historic campaign. This embodied what’s possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans.”
Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign says he has accepted President Biden’s invitation to meet at the White House. This is to discuss the presidential transition.
No date has been announced yet but Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, said it would “take place shortly.” Cheung said Trump “very much appreciated” Biden’s congratulatory call on Wednesday.
Former President Bill Clinton and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton also wished Trump and running mate JD Vance well on Wednesday, They wrote that they “hope they will govern for all of us.”
The Clintons had been some of the most outspoken Democratic critics of Trump. The Clintons stumped across the country for Harris and running mate Tim Walz. They had also criticized Trump throughout the entire election.
The two commended Harris and Walz for running “a positive, forward-looking campaign to be proud of.”
“We must remember that America is bigger than the results of any one election. And what we as citizens do now will make the difference between a nation that moves forward and one that falls back,” they wrote. “We need to solve our problems and see our opportunities together. The future of our country depends on it.”
