So funny they all throw him under the bus, and now acting sad about it.

[crystalblevins]

I love how everyone is acting like Biden did this of his own accord. He’s going kicking and screaming.

[vuqxuoz]

God Bless Joe Biden with good health 🙏

[armandoruano]

They are all sad after they throw him under the bus🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[kawsarulhaque]

Now, we should have a contested convention to find the strongest candidate. Kamala Harris shouldn't be the only option.

One word. Amazeballz.

Trump is now, officially, the OLDEST person to run for office.

[kochubobby]

Y'll made him quit, now acting "SAD"

[FiftyFoxynFierce]

Axelrod saying it’s sad and not the result Biden deserved when he and the media kept pushing Biden out with their unfair coverage of Biden over Trump. What happened to serious journalism being unbiased?!

Sharp as a tack these liars said 4 weeks ago

If YouTube ever turned on locations, the comment section would be quite revealing.

[sleathymofo]

I don't understand? Last week CNN and MSNBC said that this was the best version of Joe Biden and that he was "sharp as a tac." Why is the Democratic Party doing this?

[ritchiediggs]

Donors! Donors! Donors!
Sounds so corporate — like stakeholders who will pull their investments if they don’t get their way. Why have an electoral system like that? These people have way too much power.

"The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time, so when you think about it there is great significance to the passage of time. There is such great significance to the passage of time."
Kamala Harris

There are so many more qualified options for the nomination, Biden endorsing her was procedural.

[jeangriffith]

This president has the mark of greatness. You put country ahead of your ego Mr. President. For that you will always be remembered for this decision of selfless sacrifice. God bless you Mr. President!

[huckleberryfinn]

She was in charge of the border. What a failure.

[xhemzrv]

American democracy or American monarchy...I look forward to the next debate!!!💙💙💙

[Hgood]

CNN must be rejoicing. Aside from this particular anchor, the network sought to share this ejection and they’re succeeding.

[checkeredflagfilms]

Let the battle begin for a new democratic party. A party with renewed energy, focus, purpose and a youthful nominee. There are many qualified names to choose from and let them jockey for position between now the convention! Harris imo is not a slam dunk! Let her compete for the position with other qualified candidates. Well Done and respect to Biden!

Calling Kamala battle tested is happy talk..
