By opting out of the race, President Biden has demonstrated political maturity and statesmanship
Dear Editor,
President Joe Biden has opted out of the presidential race following mounting pressure by several leading Democrats, due mainly to age consideration. President Biden at age 81 already has the distinction of being the oldest US President.
It remains to be seen if Vice-President Kamala Harris who will most likely be the presidential nominee can pull through with another victory for the Democratic Party. Whatever the outcome, President Biden must be commended for placing the good of his party ahead of his own individual interest. It is obvious that age is not in his favour and his decision to step aside did not come as a surprise to many.
Moreover, he has certainly made his contribution to his party and nation after serving for several decades at leadership levels culminating in his victory in the November 2020 presidential election. By opting out of the presidential race, President Biden has demonstrated political maturity and statesmanship which no doubt will be the defining characteristics of his long and eventful political life.
Sincerely,
Hydar Ally
