Klain released the statement shortly after Biden announced on Sunday that he would not seek reelection.
“Serving as your president has been the honor of my life,” Biden said in a statement. “While I intended to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and our country that I step down and focus solely on fulfilling the duties of my presidency for the remainder of my term.”
In a later statement, he called on Democrats to unite around Vice President Harris.
“I fully support and endorse Kamala to be our party’s nominee this year,” he said.
