WASHINGTON — Joe Biden on Monday wrapped up a more than 50-year political career, but promised that “we're not leaving the fight,” as he bid farewell to the presidency and flew to California to unwind with his family and ease back into private life.
At the tail end of President Joe Biden’s time as president, his administration is celebrating the successful ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, which will hopefully bring a measure of peace to the region.
Every president since Ronald Reagan has left a note for his successor, and President Joe Biden could be the first to write a letter to someone who is both his successor and the predecessor who left a note for him.
Trump left Biden a letter when his first term ended in 2020, despite skipping the inauguration. Biden never revealed the contents of the letter, but just said it was “very generous.”
"Maybe we should all read it together," Trump told reporters upon finding Biden's letter. "Maybe I'll read it first and then make that determination."
The letter that former President Joe Biden wrote to President Donald Trump upon leaving office on Monday has been exclusively obtained by Fox News.
