Now the Republicans have the OLD, ancient guy running for President...I'll take the Younger, highly intelligent former Prosecutor ....over the Criminal.

Thank you Joe❤

I didn't want to see you quit but you are living the life and paving the way and showing how it's done. Not just words but actions. You understand that this is about our children's futures, our physical safety and being able to show our faces to other countries without irrevocable shame. Not just in your lifetime but throughout all of history you will always be remembered as a hero. You have restored a faith that was starting to dwindle in all of us and renewed the standard for what peaceful transition of power looks like. You are a true man and I am forever grateful to you!

I’m saddened by the president’s bowing out! He stood in gap for us in a most perilous time. Thank you Mr. President, for your service and your sacrifice!

President Biden is truly a man of honor and integrity, and I’m so proud of who he is, and what he has accomplished for this country 💙💙💙 I will forever remember his legacy.

Go Kamala Go!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I am a black man and I really hated to see the President drop out because he has tried to do his best to be an inclusive president he picked the first black woman to be his VP he nominated the first black woman to the supreme court and even picked a black woman to be his press secretary we are all created equal I believe but at least this man had the courage to show it so thank you Mr President it really meant a lot to all black people period!!! 💙💙💙💙🇺🇲 Harris

[Mikheno]

It took a big man to do what Joe did. Our country should be grateful to his service and to putting his country before himself.

[Bluecean]

We need to deliver with a Democratic Senate AND congress!!

[alansylvia]

I cried when I heard that President Biden had dropped out. I was angry for a while. Finally, I decided that Biden knows better than I do, and if this is his choice, I support it. Today, I feel very hopeful.

I'm glad Biden is concentrating his time and recources on his day job right now. We need him doing that. Wisdom

[RioJudy]

Joe is close to me. He’s one of the finest presidents this country has ever seen BUT, he wouldn’t have won. YES, he loves this country this much. GO KAMALA! I am 100% ALL IN FOR YOU! Let’s do this!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙

[pjglory]

At this point, Biden’s actions remind me of the patriotism of Senator John McCain. Country over personal gain.

I am a woman and I first time donated $100 to Actblue yesterday and will contribute monthly until November. We need to vote trump out, I'm so sick of him.

[ruththomson]

Joe looks relaxed, relieved, and ready. I’m enjoying the waves of happiness in the air. May it carry through the election to order, progress and our continuation with democracy.

President Biden is what an American President should be.

[colleenmadden]

I cried yesterday and this morning woke up with a new sense of hope!!! Kamala!!!

[vllukens]

Very happy about Kamala's reception so far by the Dems the people. Of course very sad about Biden, but he has made the right call and put country and democracy first . He's been a brilliant Commander in Chief and the unity in the party feels solid..
Hey, Don, who's looking old and really decrepit now? 
Harris 2024. Vote Blue and keep donating.

[alexphilipiah]

President Biden has been truly likable decent president who loved and served his country and people with whole heart ❤️ honestly. His vast experience in politics and proven achievements in his last 4 years is his proven legacy. President Biden has shown and proven again by listening to his voters and Democratic leaders how he values democracy and voters voices and decided to sacrify his presidency to defeat our common evil in the country. God bless our loving ❤️ true hero and his family 🙏

[dennisg]

Thank you for everything you have done for this country, President Biden. That includes the most selfless act of dropping out. We are forever in your debt!!!! ❤ May God help Kamala win and save our country from the lunatic dictator wannabe and from the dictatorship trump could plunge our country into. Go

[elogiud]

President Joe Biden is a once-in-a-million patriot; I shudder whenever Trump calls those traitors from January 6th patriots, but I digress; today I want to focus on the selfless sacrifice of our wonderful leader; President Joe Biden; I thank you!!
