This was amazing. It was amazing to see all the love life, and positively at this convention. Thank you Mr. President for all your service over 50 years. You are a true Patriot

Joe is not a Putz. He made his decision after listening to his family and friends. Kamala supported him till he made his decision and Joe knows what’s best for his party and the country. The wave that Kamala and Tim are surfing on is proof Joe did what was right!

The president looks even better now that he has that burden off his shoulders. He will be a great help to the next president! thank you President Biden for all that you’ve done for us.

Regardless of your political party, ….we saw what integrity and love for country means up close and personal tonight and I could not be more proud to call Joe Biden my president.

A person's character used to mean something. But now one of the candidates can belittle and make a mockeey of our nation's war-time veterans and specifically Medal of Honor recioients.
To refer to our brave soldiers as "Losers and suckers" where many died or returned home severely wounded.
We used to honor these men and women who fought so bravely that we may be free. What has happened that so many Americans have lost their way an support this man?

Only what he deserved for all his years of excellent and selfless service.

From Australia, I'm shearing tears of love for President Biden.
" I'm too young for the Senate, and now I'm too old for President".

He is retiring as the president of the USA. That’s the best decision he made for himself. He saved USA from losing it’s democracy on Jan 6, 2021. His administration averted a recession from Trump’s mishandling of COVID and managed to pass multiple bipartisan bills in a split congress. He deserves a standing ovation. ❤❤❤

I watched the DC tonight and my heart goes to the party. The other party is so scary and they are doomed. I hope some of their followers will change hearts.
