Charleston County Democratic Party Chair Sam Skardon made the following statement in response to President Biden’s decision not to seek reelection:
“President Biden’s record of accomplishments is unmatched in our lifetimes. He has delivered on the issues that matter most to our daily lives: building infrastructure, reducing healthcare & childcare costs, growing our economy, and fighting climate change. We should all be forever grateful for Joe Biden’s lifetime of public service.
His patriotic decision today reflects the contrast our party has always offered from Donald Trump. The Democratic Party stands for more than loyalty to one person, and we put the country’s best interest above any individual.
We are excited to offer Americans what they have been asking for: a presidential ticket with a new generation of leaders who offer a forward-looking vision for our country, building on the exceptional progress Joe Biden has delivered.”
