The media acting like they didn't see this coming is the funniest part.

[wreckinbal]

Can’t wait for the Trump vs Kamala debate… the ratings will be insane

[iamnotguilty]

Why do Republican voters get to pick their nominee and Democrat voters don't?
Oh that's right, The democrat party controls their voters voices. They tell them what to do and say.

[rosesmith]

Shame, shame, shame on corporate media for all the lack of support or truth. Nothing will ever be NORMAL again 🤢

[ElizabethConnell]

Nothing has changed
VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY.
PERIOD.

Everything about politics over the last ten years has been just sickening.

[kcssgbe]

These people are merely actors, acting the way they are paid to act
It's just a job, they live a life just like most others, they really don't care

[Jjwo]

Crazy how one debate performance finished his political career. The democrats were ruthless how they got him out

[Michael_Dominik]

Remember when MSNBC said anyone questioning Biden's mental fitness was a conspiracy theorist?

[williamgiven]

This has been like watching a slow-motion train wreck.

The Nothing could benefit the Republican Party more than replacing the weekend at Bernie's candidate with Kamala Harris, the political lightweight.
"Let us be unburdened by what has been." ~ Kamala

It’s all y’all fault! This and all other media networks. Along with the wealthy donors. Guess it’s all about what you all want and not what most voters wish🤷🏾‍♂️

[hellofrenchy]

The media should release a statement where they all step down!

[DavidKrenz-gurj]

Why didn’t he do a press conference… Explain why he is not running… The most transparent administration of all time….

[dl]

They put him out and embarrassed him for the world to see so they can throw him out like garbage.

[OlaDoering]

*_I'm not a Biden fan, but I'd rather see him rest and relax throughout his final days. He isn't well, and he needs to be able to enjoy his life._*

Americans wondering what level of Jumanji they're on today.

"Strongest economy". Totally ignores that inflation increased by nearly 20% within 3 years of his term in office. His term isnt even over yet. Its going to exceed 20% easy by the time he leaves. So unless this dude increased the GDP growth by over 20% in 4 years total. We are WORSE OFF. Basic math people.

[cindymolesky]

Well, you guys did it. You ran this man out of office. Let's see how that goes.

[MichaelHibbleralanjwid]

The corporate media is the biggest joke!😮
