Joe Biden announced in July that he was dropping out of the race.
In a “Good Morning America” interview on Monday, first lady Jill Biden touched on her and President Joe Biden’s time in the White House and his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race earlier this year.
“I’ve had such a great four years,” the first lady told ABC News’ Deborah Roberts during a new White House tour. “I mean really, it has been the honor of our lives. It’ll be tough to maybe step away from it, but we’re starting a new chapter of our lives. A new journey.”
