The President’s granddaughter Naomi Biden also wrote on her account, “I’m nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden, who has served our country with every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinction.”
The 30-year-old also called him “the most effective president of our lifetime” and sadded, “Our world is better today in so many ways thanks to him.”
The decision comes amid calls for Biden—who previously served as Vice President under Barack Obama and a Senator for Delaware—to pull out of the race. More recently, George Clooney wrote an op-ed for the New York Times asking his “friend” to reconsider his decision to run for another term.
“I love Joe Biden,” the Oscar winner wrote. “As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced.”
Referencing Biden’s age, he added, “the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time.”
