Following President Joe Biden's announcement to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, Governor Josh Shapiro and more officials across Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey share their opinions. See what they had to say.
Moments after President Joe Biden announced his plan to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and other officials in New Jersey and Delaware responded, some in support, others sharing critiques. The 81-year-old commander in chief announced his exit in a letter posted to social media Sunday afternoon. His decision followed a debate performance that prompted calls from fellow Democrats to withdraw.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy also gave gratitude to President Biden with a post to X that reads, "Thank you, Mr. President, for over 50 years of service to our grateful nation. Your time in office will be remembered as one of the most successful and impactful presidencies in American history."John Carney, the Governor of Delaware, the state President Biden represented for more than three decades while in the U.S. Senate, gave humble remarks regarding the announcement.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick criticized PA Senior United States Senator Bob Casey while reacting to President Biden’s news to drop out of the 2024 election race. "Joe Biden is not capable of serving as Commander-in-Chief." McCormick tweeted. "Bob Casey is very close to Biden — he’s known this — but in typical Casey fashion, he’s been weak in his refusal to admit to Pennsylvanians that Biden is simply not up to the job.
Days before Biden dropped the race, Senator Casey continued to show support of the President while addressing voters’ concerns. As McCormick trails Casey in polling, the heat is on between the two opponents.When FOX 29’s Jeff Cole asked Casey, "how do you know you’ll defeat your opponent if Biden gets blown out in Pa.?" He responded, "I’m going to win my race."
