The MSM owns this. They did this shit. And Biden deserves massive credit for this. MSM should be ashamed and Biden should be proud and hold his head high. Amazing record. VP for 8 years, president for 4. A career of public service almost no one can compete with. Thank you President Biden
True. But that it was his decision makes me feel he did it for the good of the country as the most unselfish act and he will finish his 4 years being able to concentrate on his plan!!
For sure they pushed him but he wouldn’t have left if he didn’t feel it was good for our country. I say it the Year Of The Woman like Joe said at his State of the Inion to the Supreme Court when he warned them about the women! So taking away Roe v Wade and setting Trump up for immunity we women will show them what we Can do!!!
Money poisons our campaigns increasingly every cycle! Vance has a history of creep Thiel’s millions propping him up, how corrupt! Musk, likewise Trump! It’s nauseating!
He is a true hero to our country to bring us out of a terrible trump presidency, Covid, and pass so many things for the good of all people . He put the middle class back in the seat! The elite was put a step back and now Kamala Harris can take the reigns and continue his legacy and make her own. She is a proven leader and taught lots by President Biden so she will be a decent human being and do for us what is good for the masses not a small elite group !! A woman President is just fine because our country knows women are more then capable of leading!!
Yes Deb totally agree. I truly believe Kamala will follow Biden’s lead and maybe even usher in even more progressive ideas. Another reason that tRump cant win is that if Alito & Thomas retire he will get to appoint TWO young justices to the Supreme Court & we CANNOT let that happen!!! I am ALL FIRED UP FOR KAMALA AND I THANK BIDEN FOR HIS LEADERSHIP & HEART….
Yes they did. I really hate them. He deserved better than what he got. The Democrats eat their own. I hope these elite Democrats enjoy their king Donald Trump.
History will give Biden top honors for his presidency. I think he'll be up there with FDR.
Democratic leadership and donors, not so much. Anyone who publicly called for Biden to step down is on their own, as far as I'm concerned. They don't need any contributions from me.
We need to support those down ticket running for the Senate and the House or we will loose everything President Biden has achieved if we loose the Presidency.
Agree. Now let's make MSM foster a landslide victory for Candidate Harris. A landslide overwhelming victory is what President Biden deserves. He earned it. Harris has earned it. We've earned it. Mr Liar will have a lot of trouble contesting a landslide defeat, which is what he deserves.
We have never been able to elect a woman president and you think our first woman president will be a woman of color? Not going to happen. I'm not bashing Harris because I contributed to her campaign in 2020. This shitshow is only going to put Trump back in the WH. Utterly disgusted by my party (some of them).
I imagine the Biden/Harris money is sofa cushion change for the big donors. That won't be a bargaining chip for them. But, yes; if they don't back Kamala there will be issues.
And if it's the money ones that did it, it will be a plan to get Trump back in office so they can get their tax breaks. And they'll own Trump. He will do whatever they want.
I’m still voting 💙 no matter how things turn out. I’m especially voting for Mrs. Harris and not relinquishing myself to the dark forces of Magalomaniacal Mutants.
I think as long as the convention backs Kamala, losses shouldn't be catastrophic. It will be another story if they want to kick Biden out *and* impose a new nominee on the party. That could be a bridge too far.
Here’s my imagination for the future. Since this is a national crisis, we need a third way to victory over maga forces. In other countries it’s called a coalition government.
Harris / Kinzinger
We need a way to merge the remaining parties of reason.
CF Majors - I was reading about a coalition government in our history. I can’t remember if we actually had one but I thought I read about a ticket with a Republican and Democrat on the same ticket way back in our history.
It happened once. John Adams (a Federalist) was Washington's VP. When Washington decided not to run for a 3rd term, Jefferson (a Democratic- Republican) ran against Adams. The way they did it back then, they cast 2 votes - 1st place was President, 2nd place was VP - they were on opposite sides and caused angst in leadership. the 12th Amendment was written to correct this.
Excuse me but I do not trust republican liberals any more than the rest of their bunch. I am 80 and I grew up in a different era but it is clear to me that republicans are no longer trustworthy.
NOOOOO! No compromises with ANY republican! Will we ever learn. We must now abide by OUR base. Not cater to republicans who kick Democrats every single time!
We don't need an ex- Republican on the ticket. We didn't just end up in this mess overnight. Every single Republican who voted for Bush, McCain and Romney in the last 24 years is complicit in ending up with Trump.
I admire Kinzinger for a handful of strong positions he's taken, but he still opposes student loan forgiveness even for those who've been mire in it for 20+ years.
He's still anti-choice. He's still weak on voting rights.
Let's not get too sentimental over his bravery on the J6 committee.
The Democrats need to stop accepting anti-choice into the party. That says all I need to know about a person.....and how they really feel about human rights and body sovereignty.
Agreed. My heart aches at this tremendous loss but we would be dishonoring what Joe Biden has done for us all these years if we don't make sure Blue rules the day straight down the line. We have work to do but we will get it done.
I am from a family of immigrants and a lifelong Democrat. I am also casting my last vote as a Democrat. I’ve sent my last dollar to the Party and am registering as an independent
I stopped giving to Democratic Party organizations awhile ago. I just give to campaigns and to organizations like Emerge and Swing Left that support Democratic candidates. I was an officer in the local Dems group for 6 years. The local group is OK, but what I saw of the state party (MA) was, to put it mildly, not inspiring.
Me too. Emily's List might be a candidate for your consideration. They find, encourage, and support women all over the country in the abilities necessary to lead and hold office.
We all owe Joe Biden an enormous debt of gratitude for saving democracy in 2020 and for all he has accomplished for the American people. Now we have to get behind Kamala Harris and beat Trump so he will never get near the White House again!
All Dems weren't polled so you don't know what percent wanted Biden gone. Biden failing is better than Trump at his best. I have faith that the people surrounding Biden and Harris haven't nor would they let him make a mistake to hurt the country. Reagan had Alzheimer's the last few years of his presidency and he's hailed as such a great president.
If I see that 66% bullshit again, I’m blocking the commenter. I could be wrong, but it was one poll cited in an Axios article. Who did they poll? Not me.
I don’t fucking care anymore. We unite behind Harris and we will win.
I don't believe that number. I wanted Biden to stay in because it would show we are all in unity against Trump and Project 2025. But the infighting Democratic party, media that cowtows to Trump and slams Biden at every opportunity, and attention grabbing billionaires who are content with a Trump presidency won't have that.
Oh, I see you removed your comment, the one that claimed 66% of Democratic voters wanted Biden to step down.
Caught lying and didn't like the pressure, I guess.
I think honestly his aids and inner circle have been responsible for keeping him away from everything they could and we all didn't know. The media latched on and then the liberal elites with their millions so here we are. I'm cringing. Can't believe this.
Honestly, why do you care? I’ve been a democrat my entire life. I’m an American citizen. What is your point? Or do you simply want to argue? Because I won’t.
The MSM owns this. They did this shit. And Biden deserves massive credit for this. MSM should be ashamed and Biden should be proud and hold his head high. Amazing record. VP for 8 years, president for 4. A career of public service almost no one can compete with. Thank you President Biden
He deserved better
True. But that it was his decision makes me feel he did it for the good of the country as the most unselfish act and he will finish his 4 years being able to concentrate on his plan!!
His decision? Yeah with a gun pointed at his head. He had no other choice. Money talks. This is what the donors want.
For sure they pushed him but he wouldn’t have left if he didn’t feel it was good for our country. I say it the Year Of The Woman like Joe said at his State of the Inion to the Supreme Court when he warned them about the women! So taking away Roe v Wade and setting Trump up for immunity we women will show them what we Can do!!!
Yes!
Money poisons our campaigns increasingly every cycle! Vance has a history of creep Thiel’s millions propping him up, how corrupt! Musk, likewise Trump! It’s nauseating!
He’s a lame duck now. Nothing he wants matters to the Party
It seems like there's no loyalty at all in politics. 😔
Yes to each word. I’m sickened by the way media companies fan the Trump flames to profit by the horror he has created. May God bless President Biden.
He is a true hero to our country to bring us out of a terrible trump presidency, Covid, and pass so many things for the good of all people . He put the middle class back in the seat! The elite was put a step back and now Kamala Harris can take the reigns and continue his legacy and make her own. She is a proven leader and taught lots by President Biden so she will be a decent human being and do for us what is good for the masses not a small elite group !! A woman President is just fine because our country knows women are more then capable of leading!!
Yes Deb totally agree. I truly believe Kamala will follow Biden’s lead and maybe even usher in even more progressive ideas. Another reason that tRump cant win is that if Alito & Thomas retire he will get to appoint TWO young justices to the Supreme Court & we CANNOT let that happen!!! I am ALL FIRED UP FOR KAMALA AND I THANK BIDEN FOR HIS LEADERSHIP & HEART….
I am ready to go to work.
I believe the US is one of the few free nations that has not had a woman president or prime minister. It's time.
Yes they did. I really hate them. He deserved better than what he got. The Democrats eat their own. I hope these elite Democrats enjoy their king Donald Trump.
Joe made the decision and endorsed Kamala Harris so for him and my country I will vote for her as she has learned from Joe!
Joe should resign. Kamala becomes President. Kamala then selects Joe as her Vice President. Problem solved!
What could possibly go wrong?
History will give Biden top honors for his presidency. I think he'll be up there with FDR.
Democratic leadership and donors, not so much. Anyone who publicly called for Biden to step down is on their own, as far as I'm concerned. They don't need any contributions from me.

We will.

turn the lasers on orange
💯‼️
We have never been able to elect a woman president and you think our first woman president will be a woman of color? Not going to happen. I'm not bashing Harris because I contributed to her campaign in 2020. This shitshow is only going to put Trump back in the WH. Utterly disgusted by my party (some of them).
I can’t even entertain this. We have a Democracy to save, and work to do‼️ LETS GET BUSY‼️🇺🇸🗳️💙🎉💯
They took away Roe v Wade and want women to go back to the kitchen sooo no it is the year of the women!!
I hope you are wrong.
Chadd, well said. I agree fully!
Well said 👏
MSM =?, thanks
Joe should resign. Kamala becomes President. Kamala selects Joe as Vice President. Problem solved.
They better have a plan. Those damn mega donors who forced this better put up or shut up!
Yep. And if it's jump ball at the dnc all the campaign war chest goes away. That can only go to Kamala
I imagine the Biden/Harris money is sofa cushion change for the big donors. That won't be a bargaining chip for them. But, yes; if they don't back Kamala there will be issues.
I think the participation-trophy kids, and their elation at Biden dropping out, is hubristic.
I feel like I did in ‘68 when Bobby Kennedy was killed.
Likewise. Re-living '68 and Nixon's rise from the ashes will be no fun - disastrous in fact - if it's Trump who rises from the ashes.
I wish I felt like the ones who pushed Biden out had a plan.
I'd love to see a plan.
I'm not sure they got that far in their haste to replace.
And if it's the money ones that did it, it will be a plan to get Trump back in office so they can get their tax breaks. And they'll own Trump. He will do whatever they want.
"transactional" you might say....
their plan sucks
Assuming the even have one.
I would like them to show themselves.
I’m still voting 💙 no matter how things turn out. I’m especially voting for Mrs. Harris and not relinquishing myself to the dark forces of Magalomaniacal Mutants.
Same here
I will too but how many will we lose.
I think we will unite. Now we have Biden, Harris
I am putting it all out for Kamala! Joe, u r amazing and please enjoy the rest of your life in dignity!!!
I think as long as the convention backs Kamala, losses shouldn't be catastrophic. It will be another story if they want to kick Biden out *and* impose a new nominee on the party. That could be a bridge too far.
Not something to spend energy worrying about.
Whatever the ticket, vote democratic all the way: school committees, state offices, judges, federal choices... Unite and more forward.
Joe Biden steps aside so we will do this.
Absolutely. Same here. Democratic up and down the ballot.
Doing the same thing.
Vote BLUE no matter who.
I’ve been voting blue no matter who since 1970. I’m a never republican.
Absolutely, me too!!
I feel so sad.
Here’s my imagination for the future. Since this is a national crisis, we need a third way to victory over maga forces. In other countries it’s called a coalition government.
Harris / Kinzinger
We need a way to merge the remaining parties of reason.
We will be ok
Good idea, this might bring in some of Haley's previous supporters.
good thought
My understanding is this is the block of voters that will put us over the top for sure.
CF Majors - I was reading about a coalition government in our history. I can’t remember if we actually had one but I thought I read about a ticket with a Republican and Democrat on the same ticket way back in our history.

Thank you Brenda for that clarification!
thank you
So, you're saying not possible to have Kamala as democrat Presidential candidate and a Republican as VP candidate?
Im thinking like a RHINO type that has liberal ideologies such as Vermont Governor Phil Scott?.
Excuse me but I do not trust republican liberals any more than the rest of their bunch. I am 80 and I grew up in a different era but it is clear to me that republicans are no longer trustworthy.
Sad.
Yeah....I hear.
NOOOOO! No compromises with ANY republican! Will we ever learn. We must now abide by OUR base. Not cater to republicans who kick Democrats every single time!
Phil Scott voted for Biden in 2020. It's an odd thing he's even an R.......because he is very progressive.
But......I understand what you're saying on no......only D's on the ticket.
He SAYS he voted for Biden. Unless you were in the voting booth with him, you have no idea who he voted for.
It’s a great strategy me thinks…
We don't need an ex- Republican on the ticket. We didn't just end up in this mess overnight. Every single Republican who voted for Bush, McCain and Romney in the last 24 years is complicit in ending up with Trump.
With JD Vance on the ticket with Trump, you don't need a middle of the road republican to balance Kamala.
Yeah.....you're right.
Understood. Yet he’s endorsed Biden and is an R in name only.
What’s your idea for securing the crossover vote securely? Biden was that person before.
We are in extraordinary times.
I think we need a real Democrat for VP.
I admire Kinzinger for a handful of strong positions he's taken, but he still opposes student loan forgiveness even for those who've been mire in it for 20+ years.
He's still anti-choice. He's still weak on voting rights.
Let's not get too sentimental over his bravery on the J6 committee.
Anti choice? That's it for me.
The Democrats need to stop accepting anti-choice into the party. That says all I need to know about a person.....and how they really feel about human rights and body sovereignty.
NO
My heart is broken. They did this man dirty. I fucking hate the media and the democrats. I’ll vote blue but after this I’m done. Going independent.
We will be ok 👍 because we have to be
Agreed. My heart aches at this tremendous loss but we would be dishonoring what Joe Biden has done for us all these years if we don't make sure Blue rules the day straight down the line. We have work to do but we will get it done.
I am from a family of immigrants and a lifelong Democrat. I am also casting my last vote as a Democrat. I’ve sent my last dollar to the Party and am registering as an independent
Don't leave the mega-donors off your list. Money always talks, and so does the threatened withholding of money.
Only people getting my dollars are the Harris campaign I will never give to the dnc ever again. They fucked themselves
The dnc fucked US. ALL of us, the entire country, if Trump manages to squeeze - or steal - a win.
I stopped giving to Democratic Party organizations awhile ago. I just give to campaigns and to organizations like Emerge and Swing Left that support Democratic candidates. I was an officer in the local Dems group for 6 years. The local group is OK, but what I saw of the state party (MA) was, to put it mildly, not inspiring.
Me too. Emily's List might be a candidate for your consideration. They find, encourage, and support women all over the country in the abilities necessary to lead and hold office.
Angel, I thought the same thing. After this election, I’d love to see 5 parties out there. Not 2 anymore.
If states would allow independents to vote in a primary but in Florida you can’t.
I just wrote the same thing!
https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1815087772216303933?
Sad but he will be able to know he did the right thing for the country, because he always does the right thing for the country. What a legacy.
What a legacy, indeed
I bet ya his poll number go way up!
And in a subsequent social media post, he fully endorsed Kamala.
Correct
Jared Polis has, too.
Now if Schiff & others follow, and don't play games hoping they are the deus ex machina in the next Sorkin episode of West Wing, we may have a chance.
We all owe Joe Biden an enormous debt of gratitude for saving democracy in 2020 and for all he has accomplished for the American people. Now we have to get behind Kamala Harris and beat Trump so he will never get near the White House again!
Yes!
Done dirty by his own party. I really hate these people right now.
All Dems weren't polled so you don't know what percent wanted Biden gone. Biden failing is better than Trump at his best. I have faith that the people surrounding Biden and Harris haven't nor would they let him make a mistake to hurt the country. Reagan had Alzheimer's the last few years of his presidency and he's hailed as such a great president.

I don’t fucking care anymore. We unite behind Harris and we will win.
Your lips to GOD's ears.
I don't believe that number. I wanted Biden to stay in because it would show we are all in unity against Trump and Project 2025. But the infighting Democratic party, media that cowtows to Trump and slams Biden at every opportunity, and attention grabbing billionaires who are content with a Trump presidency won't have that.
Oh, I see you removed your comment, the one that claimed 66% of Democratic voters wanted Biden to step down.
Caught lying and didn't like the pressure, I guess.
Looks like she went away. Fortunately. Maybe she's a troll. There's enough of them.
I am broken.
I was at a loss for words; broken is what I feel too.
😭😭😭
Well...shit.
I am bereft.
Now we all must get to work.
Has to happen. Trump folk are working.
I'm still pissed at the Democrats. I'm really sad.
I think honestly his aids and inner circle have been responsible for keeping him away from everything they could and we all didn't know. The media latched on and then the liberal elites with their millions so here we are. I'm cringing. Can't believe this.
Honestly, why do you care? I’ve been a democrat my entire life. I’m an American citizen. What is your point? Or do you simply want to argue? Because I won’t.
Unbelievably racked by this…
Sad but staying focused on our future. Vote Blue, no matter who! Move on from the drama and forge a new strong team. We can do this!
This is utterly upsetting, disheartening, and demoralizing.
NO, no, no He probably imagines we will all rally behind Kamela Harris. do not be demoralized; Joe Biden does not want that I am sure.
