First Lady Jill Biden made her first formal announcement following her husband Joe Biden’s announcement that he will not be running for president in 2024.
The first lady expressed her “full of gratitude” for everyone who has supported her and her husband throughout his first three and a half years in office in a message on Wednesday night to X, the old Twitter. Additionally, she reaffirmed her support for Vice President Kamala Harris, who as of Monday had amassed enough delegates to be officially nominated by the Democratic Party.
“To those who never wavered, to those who refused to doubt, to those who always believed, my heart is full of gratitude,” read the statement. “Thank you for the trust you put in Joe—now it’s time to put that trust in Kamala.”
The First Lady’s X post also included a handwritten copy of the statement. It was published minutes after the president gave his first speech to the country since withdrawing from the 2024 presidential campaign.
