President Trump issued a response to the news on Truth Social.
"Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve - And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t - And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists," Trump said.
"We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he added.
"Crooked Joe Biden is the Worst President, by far, in the History of our Nation. He has done everything possible to destroy our Country, from our Southern Border, to Energy Dominance, National Security, International Standing, and so much more," Trump said in a later post.
"He was annihilated in an Earth Shattering Debate, and now the Corrupt and Radical Democrats are throwing him overboard. He was not fit to serve from the very beginning, but the people around him lied to America about his Complete and Total Mental, Physical, and Cognitive Demise. Whoever the Left puts up now will just be more of the same. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he added.
"In a phone call with CNN minutes after Biden announced his exit from the 2024 race, former President Trump responded, 'He is the worst president in the history of our country. He goes down as the single worst president by far in the history of our country.' While it's unclear who the Democratic nominee will be, Trump said he thinks VP Harris will be easier to defeat than Biden would have been," CNN's Kaitlan Collins said.

From the New York Post:
Trump also weighed in on Biden’s historic decision to drop out of the 2024 race in a phone call with CNN.
“He is the worst president in the history of our country. He goes down as the single worst president by far in the history of our country,” Trump said.
Trump, 78, has long believed he ultimately would not end up facing the 81-year-old incumbent come November. On Sunday, he said Vice President Kamala Harris would be easier to defeat than Biden, should she be the Democratic nominee.
“[H]e has no clue, he doesn’t, if you look at him, he doesn’t know where he is,” the Republican nominee for president said of Biden in May, during an interview with “Cats & Cosby Show” hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby.
“You know that, I know that, everybody knows that. And I doubt he will even be running, frankly, I just can’t even imagine it,” he added.
When asked by Dr. Phil in June about Biden’s chances of seeing his re-election campaign through, Trump said, “I have said no for a year.”
Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris for president in a follow-up post after announcing he would drop out of the presidential election.
