San Diego County elected officials were weighing in Sunday on President Joe Biden's announcement that he's withdrawing from the 2024 presidential campaign.
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria called Biden a"leader, patriot and true public servant who has always put the good of the country first."."His decision today reinforces all of these facts. I must also express my gratitude to the president for his support of San Diego. He has delivered for our city and its people time and time again."
" ... I am honored to have the President's endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination," she continued."Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party -- and unite our nation -- to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.
Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, Trump campaign senior advisors, elaborated on that criticism with a statement that slammed Biden for his record on immigration, crime, the economy and foreign affairs. Encinitas Mayor Tony Kranz told City News Service that Biden's decision to end his campaign"was the right thing to do."
California's junior Democratic senator, Laphonza Butler, said:"Our nation owes President Biden a debt of gratitude for his service and patriotism, especially in making such a difficult decision. Thanks to his leadership, the American people have witnessed historic investments in education, infrastructure, and so much more. The threat to all that progress remains, and we must now do everything we can to ensure Vice President Harris succeeds.
