Barbra Streisand, Lee Daniels and More React to Biden Withdrawal: “Proud to Be an American”

As someone who has closely followed American politics over the past few decades, I cannot help but be in awe of Joe Biden’s remarkable life journey and his unwavering commitment to serving our great nation. His decision to step down as a presidential candidate and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris was not an easy one, but it speaks volumes about his character and dedication to putting the best interests of our country first.


As a devoted fan, I was thrilled to witness Hollywood’s enthusiastic response to Joe Biden’s announcement on Sunday. He bravely decided to suspend his re-election campaign and instead threw his support behind Kamala Harris for president. Stars like Barbra Streisand, Lee Daniels, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lizzo, and Mark Hamill were among the many voices praising Biden’s decision as an act of courage and selflessness for the greater good of our nation.

“Serving as your President has been the greatest honor of my career. Initially, I planned to run for reelection. However, I now believe it’s beneficial for my party and the country if I step down and dedicate my remaining time in office to fulfilling my presidential duties.”

In his latest communication, President Biden expressed his strong backing for Vice President Harris to lead the Democratic ticket in the upcoming election. “I made the excellent choice of Kamala Harris as my vice president in 2020, and I’ve been thrilled with the decision ever since. Now, I wholeheartedly endorse her as our party’s nominee this year, Democrats. Let’s unite and defeat Trump together.”

Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, expressed his praise for President Biden in these words: “President Biden has made an extraordinary mark on history as a tenacious leader who has championed for the working class and produced remarkable outcomes for all Americans. He will be remembered as one of the most influential and altruistic presidents.”

Barbra Streisand posted on social media expressing her belief that Joe Biden’s four-year presidency would be marked by notable accomplishments in history, and expressed gratitude for his commitment to upholding our democratic values.

Lee Daniels wrote, “Feeling proud to be an American on this historic day!”

As a devoted fan of Pod Save America, I can’t help but admire Jon Favreau’s heartfelt message on social media. He expressed, “I feel brave and considerate. Our president made a decision that truly puts the nation first, something we haven’t seen in a while. Contrasting starkly with Donald Trump, our leader listened to the American people instead of his own desires.”

Ariana Grande reshared Biden’s post on her Instagram story with a link for fans to register to vote included.

I strongly believe that Joe Biden has left an unparalleled legacy during his presidency. After enduring the tumultuous and chaotic four-year tenure of his predecessor, President Biden has brought back a sense of honesty, dignity, and integrity to the White House. His life experiences, marked by personal loss and political perseverance, have prepared him well for this role. I am deeply grateful for his service to our nation, and it is now incumbent upon us as responsible Americans to continue supporting him as he navigates the challenges that lie ahead.

As a seasoned voter who has witnessed the power of every vote making a difference in elections, I cannot stress enough the importance of showing up and voting for Democratic candidates up and down the ballot this upcoming election. The energy and excitement surrounding this year’s campaign, with Kamala Harris as our Vice Presidential nominee, is truly inspiring. However, I urge caution against letting that enthusiasm cloud our judgment.

If Biden’s unfit to stay in the presidential race, then surely he’s unfit to remain President too?

As someone who has closely followed American politics for decades, I firmly believe that Joe Biden’s presidency will go down in history as one of the most impactful and effective in the country’s storied political legacy. Having witnessed the leadership of numerous presidents, both successful and unsuccessful, I am truly impressed by Biden’s ability to bring people together, navigate complex issues with grace and compassion, and prioritize the well-being of the American people above all else.
