Washington, DC – Today, President Biden announced that he will not seek reelection. President Joe Biden’s decision to step down as the Democratic candidate for president is a bold act of service to his country. It is also just the latest act of patriotism and leadership from one of the most impactful presidents in modern history.
In response, Sierra Club Executive Director Ben Jealous released the following statement:
“Joe Biden’s legacy as the greatest president for climate and environmental action is etched in stone. America is better because of him. America’s air and water is cleaner because of him. Our future is more secure because of him. The Sierra Club and the country will celebrate his legacy now and forever. It is critical that the historic progress of the Biden-Harris administration be defended and continued – especially in the face of the threats Donald Trump and his relentless army of polluters pose to our collective future. The Sierra Club will marshal its resources and grassroots power to guarantee the Biden-Harris legacy continues.”
