Locals and Arizona House Democrats share their reaction to Biden dropping out of race
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.
In a statement, the Arizona House Democrats shared their reaction to Biden's announcement:
"The recovery for our country that President Joe Biden has led for the past three and half years has been nothing short of extraordinary, with Arizona as a prime beneficiary of increased focus on manufacturing, high-tech job creation and infrastructure investment. We are beyond grateful for his lifetime of dedicated, selfless and steadfast leadership, and for his record that always prioritizes hard-working American families. President Biden is a patriot and a statesman in the truest sense of the words, and he has proven that once again by putting the future of his country ahead of himself."
The Yuma community are also sharing their reaction to President Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.
"Well, I think he made a good choice because he's getting too old. And, you know, we need people in there that are more capable than he has proved himself to be."
William Agee, Yuma resident
"Well, I don't like Biden that much, but that has nothing to do with it. I thought if he is a kind man and has this country's best interest at heart, he'll withdraw. So now, I like him."
Vicki, Yuma resident
"I'm happy because he was too old to be president. He don't think straight anymore - I don't think he does. Get a democrat running on Wednesday because Donald Trump isn't good either."
Carlos Estrada, Yuma resident
