World reacts to Biden stepping down from US presidential re-election bid

U.S. President Joe Biden's decision not to seek re-election was expected by many, but his announcement was nonetheless a political earthquake.

Leaders from across the political spectrum — from Washington to those across the globe — have been reacting to the news, which could have consequences reaching far beyond the U.S.

Global's Redmond Shannon has more on the responses from world leaders.

Hey trudeau, Biden got the message. Maybe you should start reading the room.

The law of age needs to be changed for running for President. People back when this law was made, didn’t live that long . Now we live much longer, much longer .
Anyone running should not be over the age of 65 . Then if they win the race they will be 69 in the four years in office . Since they can only serve two terms if said President wins the seconded term he will be 73 at the end of his terms . IMO !!

About a week ago Joe said that "only God Almighty could make him quit". And now we know what God's decision was in this matter.

In the beginning of 20-th century the captain of Titanic said that "even God wouldn't be able to sink that vessel" - God had heard him and we know what happened to it later..

Nothing changes. We're still voting blue no matter who. This was never about Biden.

Here is my comment to white America I’m African-American. I’m 61 years old. Didn’t want to get in politics but my dad he’s always in the news middle-class Ford Motor Company family we middle class the middle class the homes my dad owns. He bought 35, 000 million dollar homes now you disrespect Joe Biden our president what’s wrong with America? All we do is find different sides to go on the stand to come together what is wrong with United States? We’re so split up now. You got so many people from every country who don’t even embrace our country can it be United States of America when you brought people here who’s not even part of America, they broke the border on United States. This is stupid what I grew up with. This is stupid politics. I’m embarrassed thank you Joe for bowing down Carla. Let’s win this.
