I loved his speech! I was listening on my drive home from work, I shed some tears!😢

[rosalbarobles]

All I can say is thank you for being a great human being and a great president. God bless you and your family always.

[michelecollier]

To Sir,
My vote for the future, to preserve our Democracy, is for you and our shared vision. With Love, 💜

[lizmorgan]

Mr. President, thank you for your selfless service and putting the our country first.

I wasn’t a big fan of Kamala before. But now I am!!!!

[SkyBluEyes]

He was looking straight at the camera on MSNBC

I have to confess, I was pretty pissed at Biden back in the day for pushing through bankruptcy laws. And wasn't that excited about him as president but After he became Dark Brandon and all the quiet power he's wielded like the petroleum reserve game he's playing, walking a picket line with the Unions, then working the student loans out!.. Going out on top! Now that he's passed the torch? What a mensch, he's gonna go down in history as one of the best. Vote Blue! 🥥

I shook this man's hand in 2008 when he was campaigning for Obama at Putnam Hill Park in Zanesville Ohio. Something I'll never forget.

Man, what a class act. As a history teacher, I truly think history will look kindly on Biden, and applaud his putting country before ego. It’ll make a lovely contrast to Trump.

[wendyfardella]

He made me cry. What a wonderful man ❤ DONT GO BACK GO FORWARD

[lindarudman]

Thank you, President Biden for your sacrifice and your service, to this country. I cannot wait until Kamala wipes the floor with trump's do. VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM!

[michelletorres]

Folks. Remember trump still has his sentencing on Sept 18th
The 34 felonies ?
Did anyone want to speak on that?

[heatherfitzgibbon]

God bless you and thank you JOE!! ❤️🇺🇸 Is MAGA Mike making fun of Joe using a teleprompter when he fell apart at the GOP 🤡 show?? VOTE BLUE 💙 UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT 💙

[ScarySkele]

I absolutely loved this speech, talking about a little boy from an average middle class town with a stutter being able to grow up into a future President of The United States of America is truly something beautiful about this country. Thank you Mr. President for stepping down and allowing the will of Democracy to move forward in a way to preserve our Republic for the next generation. Kamala Harris 2024 ❤🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

President Biden is a great president, an honourable president, an honest president, a president that loves the nation with all his heart, and is willing to step down for the sake of the nation.
His legacy is great and in the halls of history he will be honoured. We appreciate everything he is still going to do and what he has already. He brings pride to the nation.

Yes Mark Kelley!! A scientist, military man and someone who genuinely didn't need to get into politics but did it to help others. Let's go!

[brucemacmillan]

Yep... this definitely wouldn't have worked to keep the orange menace at bay. But... for the good things he's accomplished, let's thank Joe for his 4 years as president. And for keeping Trump from a second term in 2020. Now it's up to Kamala to keep him from a second term in 2024.

[Ry-lecu]

Class act Joe. History is cemented for you. Now let’s beat Trump in November

[IsableGuerrero]

I'm favoured, $255k every 3weeks! I can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.

Biden did the right thing, he deserves respect for that and his record as president (unlike DT's record as ex-president).
