So, I'm from Poland. And when Putin's war started, guess if I was concerned for the existence of my kids. I was. I felt a mix of hatered and panic. And then Joe Biden, clearly and firmly stated, that the USA has chosen to defend freedom of Ukraine and it's neighbors, with "every inch of NATO". That's how it was and the whole nation of Poland sighed with relief. And we worked as a nation to do everything possible to help Ukrainians on our end. And it worked, and we're winning. And we still exist as united powerfull and strong people. And we'll win on our end, just like you have for seen. Thank you Mr president, with all my heart!

Obama nailed it: "History will remember Joe Biden as a president who defended democracy at a time of great danger"

It wasn't perfect, but he beat Trump. That's the legacy, and that's what matters

Bots must be programmed to have the intelligence & maturity of a middle school flunkie.

Now that all that pressure is off, he actually looks happier, healthier, and more at peace than ever.

"You can not say you only love your country when you win" ~Biden 2024

One thing's for sure, history will be much kinder to Joe Biden than Donald Trump.

Scandinavia thanks America for standing by their allies in Europe in this time of need. We have deep respect for your country.

There are two types of Americans: ones that ask what they can do for their country, and ones that ask what their country can do for them.

Presidents are people. Whether you are voting for Harris or Trump, if you believe everything your candidate says, or think that your candidate can do NO WRONG, you have placed that candidate on a pedestal beyond what any person deserves.

MLK stated he wanted us to be seen by our character and not our skin.

[jamescollura]

It really is absurd that a president would call his own country a failing, third world country, just because his own ego is more important

The best thing Abc has done is let the comments open. No seriously they do that to not have hate.

Joe never forgot her, and neither will we 💙

They love him so much they forced him to stop running and replaced him for Harris without a single citizen voting 😊

[SantiagoGarza-bgwp]

Few times in history has a leader walked from power for the sake of the nation. Truly honorable, and the right decision.

Bruh, Trump said that Biden would try to take back the nomination at the convention.

Less reliable than the weatherman, that one. SmH

If Joe hadn't been sick and was able to bring this energy to the debate, he would have been unstoppable. He's still on his game.
