He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t - And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" former President and 2024 GOP nominee Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social.Read a story on Trump's reaction here.Bill and Hillary Clinton"We join millions of Americans in thanking President Biden for all he has accomplished, standing up for America time and again, with his North Star always being what's best for the country.

Kennedy said.Read his full statement here.Chuck Schumer"Joe Biden has not only been a great president and a great legislative leader but he is a truly amazing human being.

In less than one term, he rescued the nation from a once-in-a-century pandemic, brought the economy roaring back from the bring of recession, enacted consequential legislation for everyday Americans and saved our democracy by defeating the Insurrectionist-in-Chief. America is a better place today because President Joe Biden has led us with intellect, grace and dignity.

America will be forever grateful for all he has given to this country," Democratic Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin said. Donald Trump Jr."Kamala Harris owns the entire leftwing policy record of Joe Biden. The only difference is that she is even more liberal and less competent than Joe, which is really saying something. She was put in charge of the border and we saw the worst invasion of illegals in our history!!!" Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., said.Mike Johnson"At this unprecedented juncture in American history, we must be clear about what just happened. The Democrat Party forced the Democrat nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the election.

Jim Clyburn said.Read his full statement here.United Auto Workers "Vice President Kamala Harris walked the picket line with us in 2019, and along with President Biden has brought work and jobs back to communities like Lordstown, Ohio, and Belvidere, Illinois.
