WASHINGTON, D.C.— Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters have released statements regarding President Joe Biden's decision not to run for a second term.
Stabenow said, “President Joe Biden has done more for Michigan during his presidency than any other president in my lifetime. In the past three and a half years, we’ve fixed thousands of roads and bridges, boosted manufacturing, brought jobs home, lowered the cost of prescription drugs and seriously tackled the climate crisis. President Biden’s long career of public service has truly improved the lives of Americans in so many important ways. His decision today is another courageous action in his long history of service to our country.”
Peters said, “Joe Biden’s life has been dedicated to our nation. There is no greater dedication a leader can make than sacrifice.
“Today, Joe and Jill Biden put America first. Colleen and I send our gratitude and support to the President and First Lady. Michigan is better because we have delivered an unmatched track record of accomplishments together.
“The Biden-Harris Administration has been a model for delivering bipartisan results for the American people: from renewing our infrastructure, to lowering costs for families, to building a future where everyone can thrive.
“I thank him for his truly remarkable career of service to our nation.”
Stabenow also threw her support behind Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
