Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton on Sunday praised President Joe Biden after he suspended his reelection campaign Sunday.

In a lengthy statement, the 44th president described President Biden as “one of America’s most consequential presidents” and a “dear friend.”

Going a step further, former President Obama said that his announcement Sunday to drop out shows “he’s a patriot of the highest order.”

“I also know Joe has never backed down from a fight. For him to look at the political landscape and decide that he should pass the torch to a new nominee is surely one of the toughest in his life,” the former president wrote. “But I know he wouldn’t make this decision unless he believed it was right for America.”

The announcement is a “testament to Joe Biden’s love of country” and a “historic example” of “putting the interests of the American people ahead of his own that future generations of leaders will do well to follow.”
