BUFFALO, NY—Today, Congressman Tim Kennedy (NY-26) released the following statement after President Joe Biden announced that he would not seek reelection. 

“President Biden has made a choice, like countless times before, to put the country above himself. His decision not to seek reelection allows us to reflect on his legacy that will long endure. History will remember him for delivering relief to families, businesses, and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, and ushering in the strongest U.S. economy in decades. Thanks to his leadership, communities across the country are transforming their infrastructure, investing in manufacturing that creates good-paying jobs, and building resiliency in the face of climate change. During his eight years as Vice President and three decades in Congress, with goodwill toward all, President Biden built consensus to get things done for the American people and the American worker as the strongest labor champion in our history. President Biden led our nation out of its darkest days and protected our democracy. We are forever grateful for his service. I look forward to continuing to work in partnership with his Administration on behalf of my constituents and the American people as he completes his term.”
