President Biden didn't stepped down, he didn't stepped aside, HE STEPPED
UP to the plate to SAVE DEMOCRACY. Thank you President Biden for ALL that you have done for ALL of us the REGULAR citizens.🙏

Loved seeing President Biden and VP Harris on stage together. I’m Canadian but I was literally in tears watching them. President Biden is the definition of a lifetime of service to his country. Dang, I’m crying again just commenting.

I worked on the Obama/Biden campaign in 2008 and 2012. Kamala’s remarks brought me close to tears 😢 THANK YOU JOE!

I love President Joe Biden!!!! So glad Harris honors him properly.

I absolutely loved this event. I think the level of love and deference she showed President Biden was admirable! Both of them are class acts. The other guy, with all the fortune he was born into, has never had class. Never!

Thank you for highlighting this speech and the reactions of the crowd. Well done Mr President Biden. He hasn’t stopped working for the people of our country and for our NATO allies. This twosome have achieved so much in the last 3.5 years. So much pride and support for our future.
Voting BLUE down the ballot.

The good energy around Biden and Harris is such a contrast to the deeply ingrained menace and negativity I feel when I see Trump and Vance

There's nothing wrong with they way they're messaging the rollout of the reduced prescription drug costs. The Biden-Harris rollout was just fine.

[jillbreitz]

I'm not crying - you're crying!!! Such a joyous time, but I'm heartbroken too - Thank you President Biden - YOU ARE OUR HERO!!

A Canadian here who KNOWS President Biden is a good president and a good man. Harris/Walz all the way!

[victoriagerrish]

Thank you Joe, thank you for lifting our country up and thank you for picking a great VP.

[markacohen]

Trump's parting gesture with Pence was a little different. Not a hug and I love you but a noose and I hate you.

[IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

As a Canadian I want to thank Joe Biden for doing the difficult thing of putting his ego aside and stepping down. It was not only the right thing for American democracy but the right thing for all of democracy. Kamala will make a fine POTUS. You saved the day Joe and we won't forget.
