Joe Biden announced his widely anticipated decision to withdraw from the candidacy.
He had a successful presidency, fulfilling nearly all of his campaign promises and achieving great success. He made significant strides in restoring the damaged image of the U.S. both domestically and internationally during Trump’s tenure. Biden took steps to curb China’s risky and threatening growth, prevent Russia’s expansionist moves, reunite Europe, and reinvigorate NATO. Despite worsening health conditions until the last year, he successfully accomplished everything he planned.
The upcoming elections were not a race he couldn’t win, except for his health conditions being an obstacle. Those who have closely followed his identity and actions as a politician since his senatorial years know that he is a shrewd politician and one of the best in U.S. history.
Joe Biden has always been behind the successes of Obama’s presidency and afterwards. Similarly, he was always present behind the successes of previous Democratic presidents.
Joe Biden’s greatest misfortune was assuming the U.S. presidency at a very advanced age. However, based on the available data and my own experiences, I can candidly state that aside from simple gaffes and human issues like health-related difficulties in walking and falling, he was a very successful president.
Finally, his withdrawal from the presidential race itself stands as one of the rare, respectable moments and actions that will go down in history as a great moral and wise virtue.
Joe Biden will be remembered in history books as a successful and respectable president, far above the simple mockery and amusements of Trump and cheap social media trolls.
