WATCH: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Officially Resigns

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.06.25

Confirming the rumors, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau officially announced his resignation Monday morning; he will step down as PM and as party leader.

He will remain in the position until the party selects a new leader.

“I am a fighter and I am not someone who backs away from a fight, particularly when a fight is as important as this,” Trudeau said at a news conference outside his home at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa.

“But I have always been driven by my love for Canada, by my desire to serve Canadians and by what is in the best interests of Canadians — and Canadians deserve a real choice in the next election.”

“It has become obvious to me, with the internal battles, that I cannot be the one to carry the liberal standard into the next election,” he added.

Recent polling pointed to a blowout for Trudeau and his party; they would lose badly to the opposing Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilevre, in an election that had to be held by late October.
