US President Joe Biden did the 바카라right thing바카라 by dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, prominent members of the Indian-American community have said, noting that this must have been a hard decision for him to make but one he took to put 바카라America first.바카라

Biden, 81, announced on Sunday that he decided to give up running for re-election as president of the United States and endorsed his deputy Harris to be the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party.

바카라While I acknowledge President Biden's decision to drop out of this race, I accept that decision as his last act to preserve American exceptionalism and as an 바카라America First바카라 decision,바카라 New York-based eminent Indian-American attorney Ravi Batra told PTI.

"Thank you, Joe Biden, for doing what must have been the hardest decision for you, and yet what every soldier on the battlefield does - give our last best measure to America,바카라 he said.

Al Mason, prominent New York-based global real estate advisor and entrepreneur who also advises international education institutions, said that it was expected that Biden would drop out of the 2024 presidential race.

바카라He did the right thing. He is a good man, but he could never win against Trump. In fact Biden's endorsed candidate Kamala Harris too cannot beat Trump. She has no appeal in the battleground states,바카라 Mason said.

Batra said Biden has served the United States with distinction and his 50-year career, especially as Senate Foreign Relations chair and then as President Barack Obama바카라s vice president are 바카라remarkable바카라. He added that the citizens of the country are at their core not Democrats or Republicans or Independents but are Americans first.

Biden has done his 바카라finest duty by dropping out, knowing that he cannot be a standard bearer for the Democratic Party and win against바카라 Republican presidential nominee former US President Donald Trump who after being shot at during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, 바카라in a moment of extreme personal crisis had the strength of heart and mind on the stage with a face bloodied to put up his fist and say 바카라Fight바카라.바카라

바카라After all, that's what all we Americans do. We fight for democracy. We fight for meritocracy, because if we don't fight it's all over. It's game over,바카라 Batra said.

Mason said Trump is 바카라impossible바카라 to beat, even more so now with his 39-year-old Vice Presidential candidate Senator J D Vance, who has great appeal in states like Arizona, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
