This is why they said in the 1700s that party politics would destroy America

[DwayneHicksCpl]

Same happened with Carter. The people cannot recognize a good thing when it states them right in the eye. Sad

[anamkarajoy]

He really did work for it his whole life, and treated his presidency as an honor, just like he said. Even though people don’t agree on all his policies, I believe that he has integrity and grace that are becoming rare qualities.

People can't tell the difference between good and evil.

Americans might not like Biden, but the world gained respect due to his stability and calm demeanor. Now the circus is back and the world is looking elsewhere for solutions.

I am glad they posted this video. The way some were discussing his comment made it sound as though he were shading Kamala. He did not. Some of us were ready to vote for him, fully aware of his decline due to age, but not concerned that that decline was to the extend that it made Trump the better choice. Even today, he is a better man, better president than Trump could ever be.

Such a pity we missed out on two wonderful and smart choices for President and got stuck with the worst possible option…

I'm going to miss Joe Biden and he was a great president

[normacoulson]

I think Biden should have run for election. Biden was an amazing President. I will miss this honourable man❤❤❤.

Joe you will be missed, you did your best as president. Still feel you’re the one who got this country back on track after COVID.

Thanks for your service.

[willromaine]

Good words. She should be competent to run in 4 years.

[balazsalex]

I found it possible he could win again with a higher chance. It was really a selfless move from him giving the chance for Kamala. Biden is a good person i hope more people will value his job in the future

[charlottejohnson]

Great man..she would have won if she had more time to make her future thoughts available..next 4 yrs are going to be a nightmare!

❤ U Joe Biden ! You would have not sold us out for your own pocket and the pockets of your domestic and foreign "friends"

[dougtodd]

You had my vote, and respect, enjoy your retirement.

[lyssimon]

Well said sir. I love that he actually answered the question.

[christinemcguire]

Thanks for your years of service. We love you and Jill so much. I would have voted for you again.

[maximus-decimus-meridius]

I don’t know of anyone in living memory who has given as much to their country as President Joseph Biden +50 years, he definitely earned the title of Statesman and deserved to be on the world stage.

A generous forthright thinker who I believe did an excellent job as President of the United States - We salute you Mr. President and thank you for your service! 🫡 🇺🇸

[MaryLove-ys]

Thank you President Biden you did a great job...God Bless you and your family as you move on in the outside world...

[Ezzcare]

Sadly, I think he’s right. But, now, here we are. 🤷🏼‍♂️
