At first, he acknowledged the numerous speculations about him in the press regarding him dropping from the race. Responding to this, he stated that he is fully committed to remaining in the presidential race. According to Biden, the last ten days have been filled with conversations with voters, party, elected officials and rank and file members.
Precisely, these conversations largely centered around the concerns of the people which Biden says he is not blind to. He noted that his response to them would have been to step down from the race. However, this is not the case because he believes he is the best person to beat Trump during the November 2024 election.
He referred to the Democrats nomination meeting that was held earlier. Biden received about 87%, that is 14 million votes in his favor as the presumptive nominee by a large margin. Therefore, he based his decision to remain in the race on this result, stating that the decision has been made by Democrats voters.
To emphasize his chances of winning the election, Biden highlighted the success that his party has recorded in the past. This includes job creation, revitalization of America’s manufacturing sector, provision of affordable healthcare and other basic amenities. He is confident in the economic vision that his team has.
It is worth noting that the subject of crypto was conveniently sidelined in Biden’s letter. Unfortunately, this is a core concern for many Americans and largely the reason why some prefers Donald Trump to Biden. Since campaign began, Trump has been quite vocal about his plans for the digital asset sector in the U.S.
He even vowed to support crypto companies while he described the ecosystem as a “new and burgeoning industry.” So far, all Biden has done as regards crypto is solicit donations in digital currencies and renominate anti-crypto SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw. The next few months will tell how far he goes with this stance.
