It has been the honor of our lifetimes to serve you, the American people.
Dr. King taught us the importance of lifting people up. Let us honor his enduring legacy as we march forward in the fight for freedom, opportunity, and equality for all.
The work that we have done over the past four years has made a profound difference in the lives of so many — people we may never meet, but who benefited because of our work. Join me and take a look back at nine moments from the Biden-Harris Administration.
Last week, I carried on the long tradition of signing the desk in the Vice President's Ceremonial Office. Though we may have disagreed on certain policy matters, former Vice Presidents and I have shared a love of country and worked every day on behalf of the American people.
Together, President Biden and Vice President Harris made historic achievements throughout the last four years – from tie breaking votes to the launch of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Listen as Vice President Harris recounts the legacy of the Biden-Harris Administration.
RJ, thank you for your letter. Our future is bright because you and young leaders across our nation are fighting for the promise of America. Let us all remember the power that we have to make a difference in the lives of other people.
The promise of this nation is real. And the progress that we've made possible during this Administration wasn't just about today, it was about tomorrow. It was about showing that America – and American democracy – works. Not just for the privileged few. But for all of us.

The Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th Amendment, and it is the law of the land.
Today, President Biden granted clemency to nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses. @POTUS and I believe in the power of redemption. This action corrects sentencing disparities and is an important step toward righting historic wrongs.
Today, I'm commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses. This is an important step toward righting historic wrongs and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their communities after far too much time behind bars.
Happening Now: Tune in as I sign the desk drawer in my Ceremonial Office — a tradition carried on by presidents and vice presidents since the 1940s.
Doulas like Venus understand the importance of postpartum care. In 2021, I challenged states to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage from 2 months to 12. Now, 47 states have answered the call, and more women and children are receiving the care they need.
