Friend,

President Biden has shown us what statesmanship is all about: commanding great power with grace, and giving it up with courage.

He’s handed the reins to the American most prepared to take them up: our historic Vice President. Kamala Harris has the energy, the vision, and the courage to unite our party and beat Donald Trump. The American people said that they wanted new nominees on both sides of the aisle, but only the Democratic Party has delivered.

There are four months between now and the election, and that is plenty of time for Americans to see the dramatic contrast between Trump’s dark vision for a second term and the bright, optimistic, opportunity-filled future I know Kamala Harris will present.

Part of our bright future is building on the enormous legacy President Biden will leave. In deeply divided times, he passed major, bipartisan bills that will serve our country for a generation. For decades in the Senate, and through twelve remarkable years in the White House, he worked to bridge divides in our nation and serve the American people. That’s a legacy that we all, regardless of party, should appreciate.

Joe Biden also leaves a legacy that is deeply personal for many of us. He has been one of my greatest mentors in politics, as I know he was for many Democrats through the decades, and I feel fortunate to call him a friend. For years he has been a father of our party and a leader for America and the world.

President Biden is following in the footsteps of George Washington by passing the torch, and I know future generations will aspire to the record of service he has left for our country.

Regards,

Seth
