We have protected and preserved our democracy. And we have revitalizedé and reinforced our alliances around the world.

It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president. Although I had intended to run again, I believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country that I step aside and concentrate solely on carrying out my duties as president until the end of the year. the end of my mandate.

During the week, I will speak in more detail to the nation to explain my decision. For now, allow me to express my deep gratitude to you. all those who worked worked hard to see me re-elected. I want à thank Vice President Kamala Harris, who was an extraordinary partner in all this work. And allow me to express my sincere gratitude to the American people for the faith and trust they have placed in me.

I believe today what I have always believed: there is nothing that America does not can do – when we do it together. We just have to remember that we are the United States of America."
