July 22 (UPI) – Numerous celebrities expressed their gratitude on social media after US President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he was suspending his re-election campaign.

Biden, 81, made his decision after doubts about his suitability for the office arose and pressure from within his own party.

Biden has appeared confused and out of breath in his recent public appearances, including his debate with Donald Trump three weeks ago.

Biden immediately endorsed his Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor in the presidential race.

John Legend responded, “He is more than deserving of his re-election, but time and age come for all of us. I am grateful for the kindness and patriotism he has shown by choosing to step down for the good of the country.”

“GOD BLESS YOU @joebiden for your LEADERSHIP, GRACE UNDER PRESSURE, STRENGTH and RESILIENCE! Your country THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!” Jamie Lee Curtis wrote on Instagram.

“@joebiden is a true patriot. He has my respect and gratitude for his life of service,” Sean Astin said on X.

“Of course, I understand and respect his decision not to run. Thank you, Mr. President! Our family is praying for you and wishes you all the best for the end of your term and beyond.”

“As I said… and now the real election campaign can begin!” said Bill Maher on X.

“@joebiden has a track record that no president in our lifetime has been able to match,” wrote Mark Hamill on X.

“After four years of lies, crimes, scandals and chaos, he has brought honesty, dignity and integrity back to office. Thank you for your service, Mr. President. It is now our duty as patriotic Americans to elect the Democrat who will honor and carry on your legacy. #VoteBlue2024ProtectDemocracy.”

Patton Oswalt lightened things up a bit, writing: “Took a break from the news for the last few days. Just landed at LAX. Time to turn on my phone and check Twi-…”

He added: “I’m ready, Kamala. The people in the swing states loved RATATOUILLE.”
