Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has diverged from the majority of his party by expressing respect for President Joe Biden's decision not to seek reelection. Graham commended Biden's 'lifelong service' to the United States, despite their political differences.
Graham stated, 'I understand and respect President Biden's decision not to seek reelection. While we have political differences, I appreciate his lifelong service to our nation, which he dearly loves.' He went on to highlight his longstanding relationship with Biden, spanning over 25 years of collaboration on matters of national interest.
Highlighting Biden's dedication to public service, Graham acknowledged the President's commitment to serving the people of Delaware and the entire country. He extended well wishes to Biden and his family as they navigate this transition in his political career.
Graham's stance aligns him with Senators Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney, who have also shown a more conciliatory approach towards Biden. In contrast, many other Republicans in Congress have called for Biden's resignation or accused Democrats of interfering with the democratic process by discouraging primary voters from having their say.
