Letter from President Biden: 1/15/2025

Four years ago, we were in a winter of danger and a winter of possibility. We were facing the worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War. But we came together as Americans and got through it. We have emerged stronger, more prosperous and more confident.

Today we have the strongest economy in the world and have created a record 16.6 million new jobs. Wages have gone up. Inflation continues to fall. The racial wealth gap is the lowest it has been in 20 years. We are rebuilding our entire nation: urban, suburban, rural and tribal communities. Manufacturing is returning to America. We are once again leading the world in science and innovation, including the semiconductor industry. And we finally beat Big Pharma to lower the cost of prescription drugs for seniors. More people have health insurance in the United States today than ever before. I signed one of the most important laws to help millions of veterans and their families who were exposed to toxic materials, as well as the most important climate law ever and the first major gun safety law in nearly 30 years Today, the the violent crime rate is at a 50-year low.

I ran for president because I believed the soul of America was at stake. The very nature of who we are was at stake. And, it still is. America is an idea stronger than any army and bigger than any ocean. It is the most powerful idea in the history of the world. This idea is that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We have never lived up to this sacred idea, but we have not strayed from it either. And I don’t think the American people will walk away from it now.

BIDEN AI CHIP FINAL RULE

Vice President Harris and I asked our staff to prepare a detailed summary of the progress we have made together over the past four years. Next, I share our record with you. I hope you can do your part to build on the progress we’ve made.

It has been the privilege of my life to serve this nation for over 50 years. Nowhere else on Earth could a child with a stutter from humble beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware, one day sit behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office as President of the United States. I have given my heart and soul to our nation. And I have been blessed a million times over in return with the love and support of the American people.
