Mary Lou McDonald statement on President Biden announcement

Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald speaking following President Biden’s announcement of his decision to drop out of the 2024 US Presidential Election said:

“As President Biden steps back from elected office it is important to recognise that he played a significant role in supporting the peace process in Ireland. 

​“Throughout his Presidency his steadfast support of the Good Friday Agreement during Brexit helped ensure there was no hard border reinstated on the island of Ireland.

“The appointment of former US Congressman Joe Kennedy III as US Special Envoy for economic affairs to the North was welcome and constructive.

“President Biden’s successor must confront the ongoing Israeli slaughter in Palestine, the arming of Israel must end, impunity for Israel can no longer be tolerated. 

“There is now an opportunity to act decisively to end the genocide and support the building of a peace process for the people of Gaza and all of Palestine. I hope that the incoming President of the United States will grasp the imperative and opportunity for peace and justice.”
