She commended President Biden for his years of public service and effective leadership during a critical time for the nation. Gates highlighted the president’s management of several crises over the past four years, including the pandemic, restoring the nation’s global reputation, and keeping the economy stable, all while focusing on expanding equality and opportunities for everyone.
Throughout his career, Biden has been a staunch advocate for women and girls, contributing to historic advancements as well as fighting back against significant challenges. Gates noted that his numerous accomplishments have positively impacted many lives, particularly in supporting America’s caregivers and acknowledging their essential roles in families and the economy.
