  1. >**Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz have expressed their reactions to U.S. President Joe Biden’s sudden withdrawal from the presidential race.**

    >The announcement, which has shifted the political landscape in the United States, came amid growing concerns about Biden’s campaign viability and pressure from key political allies.

    >Prime Minister Tusk praised President Biden for making difficult decisions during his tenure that enhanced global security and democracy, acknowledging that his withdrawal from the presidential race was likely his toughest choice yet.

    >“Dear President Joe Biden. You’ve taken many difficult decisions thanks to which Poland, America and the world are safer, and democracy stronger. I know you were driven by the same motivations when announcing your final decision. Probably the most difficult one in your life,” Tusk wrote on social media platform X.Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz echoed similar sentiments, highlighting Biden’s impact on international relations and security.

    >“President Joe Biden will not run for re-election. During his term of office he strengthened transatlantic cooperation and determinedly supported Ukraine, which increased the sense of security in our region. Thank you for your good cooperation, Mr. President,” Kosiniak-Kamysz wrote on X.“I believe Joe Biden has much to be proud of—from his time in the Senate, as Vice President and President. His decision to step aside from the 2024 race is yet another example of his putting the interests of the nation first. He has my respect for taking this courageous action,” added the retired U.S. Navy Admiral, James Stavridis.On Sunday, Biden, in a [heartfelt statement](https://tvpworld.com/79409813/us-president-joe-biden-pulls-out-of-presidential-race) to the American nation, announced that will not be running for reelection, becoming the first U.S. President since Lyndon Johnson in 1968 to not run for a second term.

    >In his statement, he reflected on the significant achievements made during his tenure. “Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation. Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We’ve made historic investments in rebuilding our Nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans,” Biden said.

    >He continued to highlight other key accomplishments, including the provision of critically needed care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances, the passage of the first gun safety law in 30 years, the appointment of the first African American woman to the Supreme Court, and the most significant climate legislation in history. “America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today,” Biden added.

    >Expressing deep gratitude to the American people, Biden stated, “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”He also took the opportunity to commend Vice President Kamala Harris, describing her as “an extraordinary partner in all this work” and extended his heartfelt appreciation to the American people for their faith and trust. He also endorsed her as the candidate for the presidency.

    >“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats—it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”Biden’s announcement came following intense pressure from Democratic lawmakers and party officials, who had urged him to reconsider his candidacy following a poor debate performance against Republican rival Donald Trump. By withdrawing, Biden paves the way for Harris to potentially become the first Black woman to run at the top of the ticket in U.S. history.

    >Biden plans to address the nation later this week to provide more details about his decision. The political landscape has now shifted as the Democratic Party prepares for the possibility of Vice President Harris leading the charge in the upcoming election.
