I am going to miss Joe Biden, he was down to earth and has class.

Jon does close with a key item: the media is about division, not issues or results

[gloriagruca]

Jon Meacham is so right. The focus needs to be on problem solving not issues.

Thank you President Biden for putting Our Country First!🇺🇸

Comments here full of derision and nihilism. Kinda make Meachem’s point. Some of you are not worth leading.

A great testimony here. I like Historians with objectivity and clarity. None of them ever praiser Trump. Just a thought.

Jon Meachem has such sad eyes during this interview. His sadness is palpable.

President Biden was the best we ever had. He was able withstand all the slings and arrows with kindness and dignity and focus on what is best for us. Bless him❤

[teresadofredo]

Biden has 30 years on me and I am already retired. I will never be able to thank Joe enough for sacrificing his later years to continue to give back to us.

Bots clogging up the comments section like a fat person in line at the Golden Corral.

Will corporate media NBC still give Trump a pass or will it support American democracy.

Jimmy Carter just sent Joe Biden a BIG THANK YOU lolololololol....

[AnnaKareninaSF]

"Mutual respect" ... that is very much needed these days. Especially in the internet world of anonymity

I am still very sad overlosing Joe Biden, I really think he could have done this, I think he was treated horrible, but I'm glad to know that behind the scene he was coordinating this with Kamala Harris, he will be missed he was a great president I thought that from the first couple weeks he hit the oval office
