History will rank President Joe Biden as one of the "Great Presidents of American HIstory"

In a time where selflessness from politicians attracts a huge amount of attention, because it is something that rarely happens, the President's announcement of his decision to bow out of the 2024 election campaign, and his subsequent endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic party nominee is a rare act of self sacrifice and a demonstration of commitment to the good of the country and its people, will mark this President as one of the best since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Putting country above career and above one's own ambition has become as rare an event as a total eclipse.

I remain unconvinced that President Biden would have lost this election. I don't trust either the media or the polls they rely on to support their contentions and theses, the main one being that President Biden is too old, and doesn't have the strength to finish out a second term. I do think that the President had lost control of the narrative, and in spite of a towering list of achievements and accomplishments, about which many people were just unaware, communicating his achievements and success was part of the reason he did not seem to be getting much traction.

There's a difference between being a good, effective President, and being a great President. This is one of those kinds of selfless acts that identify greatness. The fact that even his critics can see this, and are furious that it is being recognized, is confirmation of the significance of this act. It is the thing that adds to his long list of accomplishments and five decades of selfless service to the people, and elevates him from being a good President, to being one of the great Presidents.

3. I absolutely agree with this.

There was much greatness in his term. Without this act of leaving the race, I believe he would still be recorded as among the greatest.

In protecting our form of government only Lincoln, and perhaps Grant, exceed him.

History will not look kindly on his detractors.

I believe though, having saved our country, retirement appealed to him and that he knew he could leave the country in capable hands in VP Harris.
