Local Democratic officials thanked President Joe Biden for his decades of service following his announcement Sunday to not seek reelection in November.

“I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden said in a letter posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account Sunday.
