In a poignant farewell letter, President Biden reflects on his achievements during his term, emphasizing the nation's economic recovery, the spirit of unity, and the enduring strength of the American ideal.
President Biden penned a farewell letter on Wednesday, expressing his profound gratitude for the opportunity to serve the nation for over 50 years. He highlighted the nation's economic resurgence, stating that 'Today, we have the strongest economy in the world and have created a record 16.6 million new jobs. Wages are up. Inflation continues to come down.' This message preceded an anticipated address from the Oval Office later that evening.
Biden's letter began by acknowledging the daunting challenges faced upon assuming office four years ago: 'We were in the grip of the worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.' Yet, he emphasized the resilience of the American spirit, declaring, 'But we came together as Americans, and we braved through it. We emerged stronger, more prosperous, and more secure.'Biden proudly proclaimed the administration's commitment to rebuilding the nation, encompassing urban, suburban, rural, and Tribal communities. He emphasized the resurgence of American manufacturing, the nation's pioneering role in science and innovation, including the semiconductor industry, and the successful efforts to curb the cost of prescription drugs for seniors. He underscored the expansion of healthcare coverage, stating that 'More people have health insurance today in America than ever before.' Biden reaffirmed his initial motivation for seeking the presidency, asserting, 'I ran for president because I believed that the soul of America was at stake. The very nature of who we are was at stake. And, that’s still the case. America is an idea stronger than any army and larger than any ocean.'As Biden prepares to leave office next week, with President-elect Donald Trump set to return to the White House for a second term, he reflected on his journey, writing, 'It has been the privilege of my life to serve this nation for over 50 years. Nowhere else on Earth could a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware, one day sit behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office as President of the United States.' He concluded his letter by emphasizing the enduring power of the American ideal, urging citizens to 'keep the faith and remember who we are. We are the United States of America, and there is simply nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together.
