It's happening. Biden is Withdrawing

I really hope this is the message of Biden passing the torch - patriotism, gratitude for his service and accomplishments



Cory Booker

I cannot overstate the gravity of the noble and history-making decision that President Biden just made. The feeling that I have right now is one of profound gratitude.

I am grateful that Joe Biden has been a friend, the most dedicated of public servants, and an extraordinary president.

I was grateful for the opportunity to work with President Biden on some of the most pressing issues facing this nation: passing the expanded child tax credit that significantly reduced child poverty, historic investments in infrastructure, from the Gateway tunnel to urban tree planting to make a healthier environment for all, and defending democratic ideals at home and abroad.

I am grateful that we have a president whose patriotism and love of country drove him to run and win against demagoguery in 2020, and who now, because of that same fierce love and devotion to his fellow Americans, has decided to be the bridge to a new generation of leaders.

Just wanted to mention that I really like Harris' husband. He's been a great 2nd gentleman and would make a great 1st gentleman. He does a great job of quietly supporting her in the background. He connects with people and does well campaigning with her.

I thought both of these were heartfelt, sweet messages



Jason Carter & Naomi Biden


Jason Carter @senatorcarter
From one grandchild to another, you should be proud. There are politics and elections, yes. But as they say, “history casts the final ballot”. Your grandfather is revered—by my family and many others.


Naomi Biden @naomibiden
I’m nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden, who has served our country with every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinction. Not only has he been—and will continue to be—the most effective president of our lifetime, but he has likely already cemented himself as the most effective and impactful public servant in our nation’s history. He has been at the center of, and had a material impact on, literally every single major issue that our country and world has faced for 50 years. Our world is better today in so many ways thanks to him. To the Americans who have always had his back, keep the faith. He will always have ours.

Happy to see a lot of posts today in support of Harris and praise for Biden. In the history books, I think Biden will be remarkable for choosing Harris, his accomplishments, steering the country out of covid, boosting the economy, providing normalcy when it was very much needed, restoring compassion, decency, honor, ethics and integrity to the White House.

History recognizes actions that are bigger than self. Joe Biden will go down as one of the great ones, having led the country out of the disastrous term of his predecessor and quietly doing good things for all Americans, red state as well as blue, accomplishments that put him up there, in terms of legislative action, with LBJ and FDR. Joe, I can’t imagine where we’d be without your selfless service.

Reason one million and 2 Trump is unfit


country first

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom
Joe Biden just did something that Donald Trump is humanly incapable of doing: He put his country first.




Another important difference between Biden & Trump

VP


Alex Cole @acnewsitics
Biden endorsed his VP to be president.

Trump tried to kill his.

He makes a couple of great points about how VP Harris is well positioned to meet the moment. She is a prosecutor running against a felon. At a time when women's rights are under attack, she can speak passionately about abortion rights.



Chris Murphy

aj2hall too bad Haley is so far right and for now supporting TFG!

Ok, sure. But at the end of the day, for whatever reason, they bend the knee. The result is the same. Except for a few brave souls like Liz C, who are not currently holding elected office..

No…


No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.


she wouldn’t serve for more than two years of a term if he were to step down now

This brings tears to my eyes, I am so excited and proud!!!!! (I am not a Black woman, but I am a woman). For the first time I couldn't really sleep last night bc I was so hopeful and excited, instead of the doom and gloom I was feeling. 

I don’t understand how any potential legal challenge could be successful, as Biden had not yet been formally nominated. Despite what we tend to think, our primary process does not nominate the candidate - the delegates at the convention do. Biden was not actually on the ballot in any state since he hadn’t yet been nominated.

Not to mention, we’re talking about the party that lost 60 court challenges to the 2020 election.

Yeah, the guy whose family won't endorse him, has sexual allegations, is highly anti-vax, and has brain worms... OH and he's on video on a call with TFG acting all buddy buddy?  COOL BRO.
