NEW CASTLE, Ind.—Today, President Joe Biden announced his plans to not seek a second term as President of the United States. 

​

“Respecting and appreciating the legacy of President Biden’s service, I support his decision to not seek re-election to another term,” said Jennifer McCormick, Indiana’s 2024 democratic gubernatorial nominee. “As governor, I will be committed to working with the president—whoever is elected in November. Indiana deserves the best leadership to protect our rights and freedoms and I will be a relentless champion for all Hoosiers.” 

​

“President Biden has been a steadfast patriot and leader for our country. His decision to withdraw from the presidential race is yet another act of service in a long and distinguished career dedicated to the betterment of the United States. President Biden’s tenure in public service has been marked by kindness. We should honor President Biden's legacy, patriotic devotion, and service to our country as we move forward. It is time for the Democratic Party to build on the myriad accomplishments of the Biden administration and strive to uphold the values of integrity, justice, and unity that he has exemplified.”
