Luján Statement on President Biden’s Announcement

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement on President Biden’s announcement that he will not seek reelection:

“President Biden has devoted his life to serving the American people and putting working families first. I know President Biden, and I respect him, his character, and his strong leadership. There is no one like him. 

“President Biden accomplished what his predecessor could not — landmark investments in infrastructure and growing the economy, lowering prescription drug costs, and addressing the climate crisis. His legacy will be among the strongest of any American president. I know his decision to step aside was not taken lightly. 

“I thank President Biden for his decades of service to the American people and I will fight to ensure that we keep the White House in November.”
