ELECTION - Jamie Raskin Writes in Praise of President Biden
On July 6, congressman Jamie Raskin send President Biden a letter encouraging him to caucus with Democratic leaders to hear their concerns about his continuing in the campaign. On July 21, Biden decided to withdraw from the campaign and to endorse Vice-President Kamala Harris to take his place on the ticker.
Much of Raskin's letter consisted of deep raise for President Biden and his legacy. He praised Biden as "a truly great and magnificent leader." I want to share a partial reading of Raskin's letter to highlight what a brave, selfless and patriotic act Joe Biden performed in stepping down from his position of ultimate power. Further, I want to use Raskin's eloquent words to hold Biden's presidency up as a model of kind of character we want in a president of the United States.
