Wait, is Biden seriously resigning? Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming!

[keithad]

Where is Joe announcing this himself? This seems very suspicious, what is not being disclosed to us.

[PAVEL-JAKL]

last week trump almost got assassinated this week Biden steping down..

[Ablecoh]

How many historical moments are going to happen this month?

[angelmujahid]

It’s not shocking considering the media pretty much ran him out of the race.

[Zboarts]

Has anyone seen Joe Biden after he dropped out? How do you go from 100% not going to drop too this?

[jaytaylor]

Biden gets pushed out by his own party on national ice cream day😂😂😂

[AndreTheAverage]

Joe Scarborough said himself "this was the best version of Joe Biden"

[JudyCerda]

Why isn't Biden giving a speech about this himself? I don't understand why we are hearing this secondhand. Isn't he really stepping down?

[randyboisa]

I'm confused! The Democratic Party including Kamela told America that "Joe is as sharp as a tack" What's going on?

[Sierra-bwgm]

Hardly a surprise, the debate cost him dearly.

[pbwc]

Notice it was read by the News, not him ACTUALLY saying it. This was more likely CHATGBT than him.

[PC-tcje]

Wait a minute… MSNBC told me this was “the best version” of Joey…

[ranilium]

Prediction: This will either be the highest voter turnout in history...or the lowest

[sintdvv]

Project 2025… My father is Hispanic and we are American so my father will have to go to Mexico and we will have to stay here, ruining our family

[mexx]

I understand why and all the reasons as have " forcing" Him to step down. I still have hope and still believe in our Democracy, now it is more precious and important than ever. But I can't stop crying.
Thank you President Biden for 51 years as a public servant. I will never forget President Joe Biden, a great leader, a great human being, a decent person who's putting our country first. Voting Blue all the way 💙💙💙🇺🇸 Thank you President Biden for all you have done for all of us.

All the stuff y’all put this old man through only to railroad him down the stretch. Predictable though. A lot of people that don’t watch msnbc saw this coming from a mile away

[kimmcbride]

I have been fed up with these networks.

[crabbingclammingboatcampin]

When Biden was asked how he felt about writting the letter that he was stepping down, he said, "Letter? What letter??".

[korkalba]

They chosen donors over voters ...😆...next week they'll talk about democracy.
