On the 21st (local time), when U.S. President Joe Biden abruptly withdrew from the Democratic presidential race, his wife Jill Biden expressed her support with a heart emoji.
On that day, Jill Biden retweeted President Biden's resignation statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) and added an emoji with two pink hearts. There were no other comments.
This is interpreted as a strong show of support from the family for President Biden's decision. Earlier, on the 27th of last month, after the first TV debate and amid growing calls for Biden's withdrawal, Jill Biden had taken the lead in expressing her intention to continue the presidential race, saying, "We will keep fighting."
President Biden's granddaughter, Naomi Biden, also wrote on X, "I am immensely proud of my grandfather, our President Joe Biden, who has served our country with incomparable excellence and wholehearted dedication today." She added, "He has been at the center of literally every issue our country and the world have faced over the past 50 years and has had a profound impact. He has been the most influential president of our lifetime and will continue to be so."
