As President Joe Biden dropped his 2024 presidential reelection bid Sunday afternoon, New England political leaders and local officials reacted to the news.

At 1:46 p.m., Biden sent out a letter on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying that “it is in the best interest of my party and the county for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey sent out a statement saying that Biden’s decision not to seek reelection was the “ultimate example of putting the county first.”

“Joe Biden ran for President to restore the soul of our country and defeat the greatest threat our democracy has ever seen. And that’s exactly what he did,” Healey said.

“Few could have risen to the challenge the way Joe Biden has. He has restored our economy, defended our freedoms, and protected democracy at home and abroad. He has led with decency, empathy and brought Americans together,” she continued.

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell released a statement, praising Biden for his decision and for his time in office.

“Running for president of the United States takes tremendous sacrifice — one that President Biden has continued to make even in times of tragedy in his personal life,” Campbell wrote. “And for that selflessness, we should all forever be grateful.”

Senator Ed Markey posted on X a brief list of accomplishments of the Biden administration.

“From reunifying NATO, to passing the largest climate investment in our history, President Joe Biden has helped save democracy and the planet,” Markey wrote. “He has a record unmatched in modern U.S. history, and I am forever grateful for his service and friendship.”

Massachusetts Congressman Jake Auchincloss said in an X post thanking the president for his service.

“Joe Biden is the first president in U.S. history who has had to defend democracy at home & abroad simultaneously,” Auchincloss wrote. “He has done so admirably.”

He ended the X post with a simple, three-word sentiment: “Now let’s win.”

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfiel...

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his a...

After court victories, Michael Jackson estate eyes revival

By
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Michael Jackson’s musical legacy never left, but a kind of comeback is coming. With a series of court victories that bring the end to serious legal crises, with a Broadway show beginning and a Cirque du Soleil show returning after a long pandemic pause, the Jackson business is on the upswing 12 years after the pop superstar’s death. Very recently, things looked grim. The 2019 HBO documentary “  Leaving Neverland  ” raised child molestation allegations anew. The once-dead lawsuits brought by the two men featured in it had been  revived  by changes in the law. And a decision in the estate’s appeal of a $700 million tax bill was taking years to arrive. “I was always optimistic,” John Branca, the entertainment attorney who worked with Jackson through many of his biggest triumphs and now serves as co-executor of his estate, told The Associated Press in an interview at his Beverly Hills home. “Michael inspired the planet and his music still ...
