My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

It was wonderful to be with Promise Neighborhoods and Full-Service Community Schools grantees this week in DC. Our team was inspired by grantees and national partners like @WJWInstitute @StriveTogether @TheNPNC @EdRedesignLab who see their potential. @CommSchools @USEdGov
