David French, an Evangelical writer and columnist with the New York Times who has been a longtime critic of former President Donald Trump and his supporters, took to Threads to give his opinion on the announcement.

“This is selfless leadership. We’ve seen leaders put themselves over the country for too long. Trump is doing that right now. Now it’s time to find the candidate who can end Trump’s political career,” he stated.

French also stated that he believed if Vice President Kamala Harris becomes the nominee “one of her first tasks will be dismantling the lies told at the Republican National Convention, including the lie that Trump was better for law and order.”

He also posted a statement from former governor and former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, which commended Biden for his public service and wished him well.
