Washington, United States – AFP
Barack Obama praised US President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the White House race on Sunday, saying it was testament to the US leader’s “love of country” — but warned of “uncharted waters” ahead of the November 5 election.
Biden had “every right” to run for reelection, the former president said in a statement, lauding the 81-year-old’s record and calling him a “patriot of the highest order.”
“We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges,” he continued.
