The Moderate Party leader Magdalena Andersson is positive towards Kamala Harris and calls her "warm but tough".

From The Left Party, one welcomes Biden's withdrawal after "fourteen disappointments".

Several Swedish politicians react to the news that US President Joe Biden is dropping out of the presidential campaign.

I wasn't extremely surprised, many experts on American politics have made the assessment that there are other Democrats who have a greater chance of beating Trump than Biden, says The Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson.

She didn't notice Biden's age when she met him at the White House.

No, then he was energetic. On the contrary, he was in full swing and very engaged in the security policy issues.

C: Good news

She describes him as central to Sweden's and Europe's security over the past two years. If Trump wins and withdraws support to Ukraine, it would be negative.

It's clear that it would be bad for Europe's security, says Andersson.

The Left Party's foreign policy spokesperson Håkan Svenneling comments on Biden's withdrawal on X by saying he leaves after "fourteen disappointments", and The Centre Party's Riksdag member Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist writes that it was "good news for the world."

Busch: Great respect

Energy and Business Minister Ebba Busch (Christian Democrats) writes on X that she has great respect for Joe Biden's hard work as president and that "regardless of who becomes president, the USA will remain an important partner to us".

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (The Moderate Party) praises the cooperation with the Biden administration.

Kamala Harris, who wants to take over the campaign and challenge Donald Trump and who also has Biden's support, is one of several candidates who could be good for the Democrats, according to Andersson.

Harris is the one I've met and I know her as a very warm but simultaneously tough politician with clear opinions and a strong will.
