To the editor: I do know there’s not a lot of an opportunity President Biden will learn this, however I needed to get it off my chest and say it on to him. (“Biden’s address to the nation: ‘I revere this office, but I love my country more,’” July 24)
I’m 76 — not fairly your age, however getting there. And I’ve observed a decline. Not like you, I haven’t been politically engaged for 50 years. My political profession started on Nov. 9, 2016 — however such as you, since then I’ve been doing it 24/7. I’m a part of what you’d name the grassroots infrastructure.
To be trustworthy, I didn’t need you to be the candidate in 2020. However I obtained behind you once you secured the nomination, and also you went on to beat then-President Trump. If that was all you ever did, it was sufficient for me.
However you grew to become the best president of my lifetime. You recharged our financial system and shored up NATO. You took on local weather change and drug corporations. And you probably did all the pieces calmly, even quietly, understanding calm and quiet had been what we would have liked.
You additionally did probably the most brave factor I ever noticed a president do: You bought us out of a struggle we had no enterprise being in. Sure, it was messy after we left Afghanistan, however we left since you knew we didn’t belong there.
And now you’ve gone and finished one other brave factor: You dropped out. You set nation first. What caliber of chief does it take to do this? FDR? Lincoln? Washington? As for the election, don’t fear — we’ve obtained this.
I’m not alone in considering this stuff. Tens of millions do, and we’re perpetually grateful to you to your knowledge, integrity, grit, compassion and political savvy.
So, Mr. President, thanks. You deserve relaxation.

To the editor: When Trump was shot, Biden known as him and wished him effectively.
When Biden stepped down from the marketing campaign, Trump known as the president “crooked Joe.”

To the editor: Columnist LZ Granderson wrote about Biden dropping out, “Historical past will bear in mind at the present time as one of the crucial patriotic moments of his profession.”
That is typical propaganda from the mainstream media. Biden dropped out of the race due to the general public stress from an rising variety of his fellow Democrats for him to maneuver apart in favor of a stronger candidate.
That is the reality. He was pressured out, and it had nothing to do with patriotism — as a result of had he been patriotic, he would have declined to run for reelection a 12 months or two in the past.

To the editor: Biden ought to instantly take the subsequent logical step as he demonstrates to the world learn how to eat an elephant, one chunk at a time. By withdrawing from the White Home race, Biden took his first chunk out of the Republican Social gathering’s presidential hopes, immediately weakening Trump’s marketing campaign.
Biden’s major marketing campaign focus has been to protect democracy by denying the presidency to Trump. He ought to instantly take his second chunk of the elephant by resigning the presidency. This may make Vice President Kamala Harris the forty seventh president of america.
Such quick motion would give newly minted President Harris loads of time to introduce herself to the voters because the sitting president. And she or he can be electorally helped by showing on the poll because the incumbent.
Biden’s resignation may result in a blue wave that may considerably contribute — each up- and down-ballot — to his efforts to strengthen democracy. This may be a becoming capstone to Biden’s lengthy profession of patriotic service.
