This election has seen a president voluntarily give up power for the good of the country and one who can’t let go of power because he can’t get over his own ego.

[k.m.]

Just because he could win doesn’t mean it wasn’t riskier or that he shouldn’t listen to those with concerns that wanted a more energetic world leader. I believe he’s telling the truth, there can be good reasons to step down even if you think you could win

[IRepko]

Facts. He could have won, that being said Kamala is running an objectively better campaign. It was the right call but he’s right to say what he’s saying.

[TheSuzberry]

I was ready to support Joe. He pulled us out of the ditch trump drove us into. But, I think Kamala will give us a blue wave.

Thank you President Biden for ALL that you've done for America. God bless you and your family!!!💙💙💙💙💙

[QuicksilverSG]

Biden's self-sacrificing move was masterfully timed, both in elevating Harris to the forefront and in planting a stake in the heart of Trump's campaign.

I love Joe and his 100-watt smile. A good man and a great president. 💙💙

[Mikki]

There was not a relutancenfor you to run again. Job well done, Joe. You were bringing us back. Thank you for being selfless and paving the way for your VP. I hate that the mews makes you seem less vital than you are. I mean, Trump can't hold a thought for 2 seconds and express it. The news lets him present that way so it must be fine

[cherylb]

I agree Mr. President: You would have won.
I just hope Americans love America as much as you do and vote in favor of freedom and democracy - around the world. In the meanwhile, Sir, keep doing what you're doing....

[LaurenStone-bcwr]

Joe was protcting us from evil. He ran to stop Trump. ❤Joe.

[felixsmdt]

Taking advice from people close to you isn’t bad. Of course Trump never takes advice because in his mind he is the smartest

[SusanWelch-mshg]

I was heartbroken when he stepped aside but so amazed by the depth of his integrity once again. What a special human being he is. We've been so lucky and blessed to have him.
Thank you President Biden!!!
