ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Senator Martin Heinrich today issued the following statement on President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw his presidential campaign.

“History will remember President Joe Biden as one of the most effective, accomplished, and successful leaders America has ever had. With his decision today to put country over self, the President has secured his legacy. I commend him for his selflessness, honor, and integrity.

“From reducing the cost of prescription drugs, expanding health care for veterans, passing historic climate legislation, making once-in-a-generation investments in infrastructure, to securing the most meaningful gun safety measures in three decades, President Biden has left his mark on the greatest nation on earth.”
