  2. Historic speech and that’s going to be the least historic part of all of this. Let’s go.

  3. Biden did something trump would never do: he put his country ahead of himself for the sake of democracy. Because Biden is a good man with genuine integrity

  4. Standing down will prove to be the most enduring and honorable action of an already impressive presidency.

    Damn, no chocolate chip mint?

  7. No joke, Biden has solidified his legacy as a good president, with an exceptional final act. People will talk about him in the same sentence as Washington.

  8. I honestly wonder where presidential scholars will rank Biden after this decision. [He is presently 14.](https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2024/02/19/biden-14th-in-scholars–presidential-rankings–trump-last) Dropping out is a political master stroke, and [I’m convinced it has been planned for a long time](https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/11/biden-single-term-082129). It couldn’t have been timed better and he’s given Kamala a fantastic entrance into the race. So I gotta think that gets him a couple of points.

  9. I’m really pleased to see that this has happened, that everybody has rallied behind Harris, and we’re unlikely to see a contentious convention.

  10. The only thing that’s a bit more reassuring than Biden dropping out is how Republicans‘ are handling it: _But but but they forced him._

    They continue to be pathetic, incompetent failures, and that’s good.

  11. It’s funny to say but he’s the absolute fucking man for dropping out and passing it to Kamala. I already thought he was kicking ass, but I had become very worried about his electoral chances. He just ascended to epic president tier.

  12. “Its not about me, it’s about you.” American patriot. Decent man.

  13. Make sure to check your voter registration status. Checked mine today and it was inactive. Had to register again in order to vote in November!

  14. I’m super proud of Joe for this. I know ppl don’t trust politicians, but when I look at him, I see a real human. I feel the same about kamala.

    It was a good speech. I love this country. I love this idea. I want to have as many happy and thriving humans as possible.

    I might have bawled if he read New Collosus.

  15. First time we can unveil a “mission accomplished” banner behind a President and it won’t be a lie.

  17. It was the right decision to make 👍🏽

    Democrats actually have a chance now & republicans are freaking out in their media circles because they can no longer rely on an age factor to get their criminal felon Donald Trump into office 👌🏽

  18. I hope his approval rating soars after this for the rest of his presidency. He deserves to leave office knowing how much the country appreciates his lifetime of service despite his personal losses, and especially how much the DNC appreciates his service and dedication to the cause of Democracy.

  19. An extraordinary move by a great president who, let’s be honest, was pushed out by his own party. Believe what you want about whether President Biden could win, he is a very rare public servant who put country and democracy above pride. Very rare in today’s politics. “I revere this office, but I love my country more.”

  20. I hope that he enjoys his fig tree, and his ice cream. Thanks, Uncle Joe.

  21. The timing takes SO MUCH PISS out of the Rs campaigning. Life is so much more hopeful now than a week ago.

  22. I hope I’m not being too overly dramatic when I say that if the Democrats can eek out a victory in November, someone somewhere should commission a Biden statue. Voluntarily gave up power to better his nation. This is an unfortunately rare trait.

  25. It fucking worked. I love you, Joe. What a true patriot. He will be remembered as one of the greatest hands down
