Nancy Pelosi stated Joe Biden's decision not to run in the presidential elections. On platform X, she wrote, "God blessed America with Joe Biden’s greatness and goodness."

"President Joe Biden is a patriotic American who has always put our country first. His legacy of vision, values and leadership make him one of the most consequential Presidents in American history," Pelosi wrote on platform X.

The former Speaker of the House emphasized, "God blessed America with Joe Biden’s greatness and goodness."
