Clintons level criticism of Donald Trump as they offer kudos for Joe Biden, endorse Kamala Harris.

Former President Bill Clinton and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton offered a joint statement in support of President Joe Biden’s decision to end his campaign for re-election.

Biden made the announcement on social media. He also called for the Democratic Party to formally approve Vice President Kamala Harris as the official nominee for President at next month’s Democratic Convention in Chicago.

The Clintons heaped praise upon Biden for his decades of public service as a U.S. Senator and Vice President during the eight-year administration under Barack Obama.

“We join millions of Americans in thanking President Biden for all he has accomplished time and time again, with his North Star always being what’s best for the country,” the joint statement from the Democratic power couple said.

Biden made his announcement to end his campaign for re-election after Democratic lawmakers increased calls for Bien leave the race. Biden wants Democratic delegates to throw their support behind Harris.

The Clintons agree.

“We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support here,” the Clintons said.

The couple also criticized Republican Party Presidential nominee Donald Trump, who defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, and said his election would bring a bad turn for the United States.

“We lived through many ups and downs, but nothing has made us more worried for our country than the threat posed by a second Trump term. He has promised to be a dictator on day one.” the joint statement said.

    Barack and Michelle Obama notably did NOT support Harris. Why not? What nefarious machinations are going on within that poor excuse for a political party? 14 million Americans voted for Biden as their candidate in the primaries this year. Now, a handful of oligarchs and donors and taken their vote away. This is not democracy. What a laugh!

    Hillary Clinton is 76 years old. If somehow the donors, and powerbrokers of the zombie cult choose her as a VP candidate, then of course the zombies would never say she is too old, yet Trump is. Hilarious! As DeSantis says, demos rearranging chairs on the Titanic.
