Trump is now 1 year older than Biden was in 2020! Let's hear about it corporate media.
In the words of Dr Evil…”Riiiiiiight”
Yea, Trump is too old and he wanders off topic so often. I'm still pondering whether I'd prefer being electrocuted or eaten by sharks ,if the electric boat sinks. Tried bleach to cure my Covid19, that didn't work, Watch his rallies, I thought they were stand up comedy. Trump to be president, God help the USA, because the US will be going to hell in a handcart.
should we start screaming elder abuse also like they did?
The corporate media never used to speak about Biden's obvious decline in mental acuity (in fact they went out of their way to cover it up) until the last few weeks, when it then became publicly acceptable to acknowledge it. I'm gonna vote for Harris or whoever takes Biden's spot, but there should be no question that Biden had, at best, a 5% chance of beating Trump if he stayed in.
the corporate media buried Trump's pedophilia. the corporate media has buried Trump's legal problems especially his felonies. The MSM is part of the Trump campaign.
I am so grateful we have a man who ran this country who decided to put the country first. Trump would never have done that
I think THIS is the "loudest shot" heard recently, and in the end, I think it will have been the best decision made to save the country...also supporting Harris and all Blue (as I always have) in 24!!!
100% FACTS. DIGNITY! Thanks President JOE Biden for EVERYTHING to HELP AMERICANS get Back ON OUR FEET AFTER COVID. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS 2024
My exact thoughts. Biden cares about his fellow Americans all of them. DJT they are pawns till he doesn’t need them or cross him or have a thought of their own.
He may have left it too late to organize properly, though.
Nope, no way, his ego would have strangled him on the air if he thought to say," I was thinking..gasp!"
She needs to give him what he demanded of Biden. Competing cognitive tests. Debates. When he backs out, call him out on it. Call him a chicken. Point out his age and his own mental slip ups.
She definitely needs a debate, for the publicity. In fact, maybe Biden should step down from the Presidency so that people can see President Harris in action.
@@christopherheckman7957I don't know if that's even possible, but regardless, IF she is is determined to be the Dems' candidate, do you really think she should have her priorities divided right now, or that any actions she might make as commander in chief wouldn't be used as ammunition against her?
The only plus I could see would be that we would break that "first woman of color in the oval office" barrier now rather than waiting for the racist misogynist right to have a chance to prevent that moment of history.
That just wouldn't play in Peoria....
Anything that bold will place her in the 'bitch' category with most voters.
And if she takes the high road, she'll be too soft to deal with strong men world leaders.
She cannot claim the economic gains of Biden's administration.
She has a narrow lane to follow.
She needs to debate him, and hammer Trump when he starts acting like an old man. The whole debate she needs to make all the snarky comments about his age.
She'll lose just like she did in the primary...
Wow, a career politician who is willing to give up the highest power in the world (vs. being legally or militarily forced).... is exactly the type of person who deserved to hold that office. Same guy that the other side could not find any dirt through out his 50 years career despite their best efforts to sling mud. What a Character.
President Biden passed the test. That said, I'll vote for Vice President Harris for many reasons including to preserve his legacy.
HE IS OLD!!!! HE HAS GOTTEN TOO OLD TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY!
Kamala Harris will, unfortunately, face both misogyny and racism. I support her fully.
I do think more people dislike tRump than the media would have us believe.
She'll stay strong in the face of all that crap: sadly, the haters are gonna hate, no matter how infantile and stupid they are.
I have said that a few times. But, who would know. My posts on that subject matter have been censored.
@@MusicfromMarrsfar more. The fact he didn’t get a bump in polls after the “assassination attempt” tells you everything you need
@@Adogslife54 censorship department was after me today over on MSNBC
So now Trump is the oldest Presidential nominee in US history.
I imagine the media will now jump all over it, right?
Right?
They will probably try to get Harris kicked out.
Lol I giggled at your comment. Now Harris is a women presidential nominee and we can't have that now can we😂
(crickets)
I like your optimism! 😉😂
@@iamfromthewild do you remember a woman called Hillary Clinton?
I'd vote for a broken toaster over Trump.
This is literally why the left is doomed. People think it's a flex to say my president is a toaster and his unelected staff should run everything. That's not convincing to anyone not in the cult
At least a broken toaster works as a paperweight. Which is more than Drumpf has ever done.
The Democratic nominee could be comatose and I'd vote for them over Trump...
As Burb n Bougie says I’d vote for a moldy blueberry muffin over T.

Biden is an exceptional president. I will vote for Harris!
far better than obama. obama was better than clinton. harris is even more progressive. leffists have been pushing the democratic party to the left. i'm gonna vote for them this year with more enthusiam than 2020 frankly.
Trump is one of the worst Presidents next to Genocide Joe
I'm still voting fer Biden 😂
Exceptional? Absolutely not. He's like Lyndon Johnson at best [and far from as successful domestically tbh]. He's been surprisingly decent there, but his foreign policy has been mostly disastrous and wildly unpopular with the vast majority of his constituents [who he then gaslighted, blamed, and allowed to be brutalized by police instead of actually listening to their concerns and trying to stop Israel from, you know, committing genocide].
Did you like the inflation or the 2 new wars better?
It’s says a lot about American politics that Beau does not need to spell out why the attacks on Harris will mirror the attacks on Obama.
They'll link Harris to Biden. She was part of the cover-up of his mental health. The attack ads have already started. It's going to be a bumpy ride through the convention, but contentious contests produce the strongest candidates.
She has an extra thing to overcome that Obama didn't. I think this country is more sexist than racist these days.
Absolutely!!!
And they will treat any real criticism...and there's plenty...as bigotry. It's politics baby
They will be worse, b/c she is also a woman. Remember: they’re only showing us who they are.
I’m voting against the guy that said he might suspend the constitution
I am sad. I believe that President Biden was done dirty. But, I am capable of seeing the forest through the trees. The pro-democracy side MUST win this election! And I am 100% behind Kamala Harris! Let's win this!v
History will forget how he ended, and remember his fifty years of service. If the dems win in November, he'll go down as a hero. If he had stayed in and lost, he would have been vilified forever.
I agree. It feels like Biden was pretty confident that he didn't want to drop out, but the democratic establishment and the media refused to talk about anything but suggesting Biden should step down and kind of pressured him into it.
Done dirty? Nobody ever talks about the fact that Biden had to endure his entire Presidency having people saying the election was stolen and he was an illegitimate President, without any credible evidence. Biden endured it like a man and didn't whine like Diaper Donny, even though he was treated horribly by people who knew better.
We're not going to win the election - there are millions of people who would have voted for President Biden, but won't vote for a "mixed race" woman.
his own party slit his throat, I would be ashamed if I were a democrat
All of Trump’s projections about infirmities, senilities, and “crime families” land now squarely on himself with no distractions.
Yes, mr. trump is now the oldest geezer, and he thinks only of himself
And there is his incompetence, corruption, criminality and mental illness.
Be certain they will come up with numerous new distractions.
Provided the MSM reminds everyone of them.
I forget which lackey said it back in 2016, "you know what trump is up to by what he cries about other people doing."
I'm still not voting for Trump.
Same. I already donated to Harris. Great time to throw your support behind her so they don't try and sneak in a less popular more corporate friendly candidate.
Sure hope you vote blue. Not voting makes you complicit in helping trump win. Either you vote and your vote counts as a -1 from Trump or it doesn’t… I’m just saying… I assume you intend on voting as well, so this msg is for anyone that meets the criteria. Thinking “I’ll just not vote..” no, no, don’t just not vote… we all must vote or we are complicit in the outcome
Agreed. Candidate X 2024.
@meikgeik already donated a little while ago, in addition to the already monthly donations I've been making to Biden/ Harris campaign.
We can do this!
@user-tz7jj7bl6q I vote any opportunity I'm given- local, state, and federal. And it's straight blue, all the way.

Harris has to battle racism and misogyny. Obama and Clinton each only had to battle one form of ignorance.
She will need our support.
Very good point. 🙏🙏🙏
it's different this time...democracy is on the line
She has my support
She also has to battle her track record in the Bay Area. You've probably heard about how crime has gotten much worse in the last 20 years there, right? I can tell you from a first person point of view that it is true. Harris owns a LOT of the blame. She was DA in San Francisco from 2004 - 2011. Crime got much much worse in my favorite city during her tenure. She did a terrible job as DA. She was assistant DA in San Francisco and Oakland before that. Easy pickings for political attack ads.
I'll still vote for her, but it's a vote against Trump but not for Harris.
@@brentlanyon4654No.

Seriously though, I think this is one of the smartest moves they could have made, would you have preferred the Dems to sink to the level of the GOP and back a candidate not fit for office because they were scared of the unknown?
Policy > cult of personality.
@@sunshynff : _"Americans do something selfless and civically minded? You jest"_
The words _many_ and _some_ have the power to change an obviously wrong statement into a very true statement.
We can blame the media for crafting that and the fact that your political system has a single person as president and separate from the elections that select your house and senate. The media in the USA does not tend to spend much time studying the presidents administration that in the end are their main advisers in key areas. In the Westminster system you have the two houses just like yours and the members of those houses are elected by the voters of the electorate they are representing and the party that can put together the majority of the electorates [seats] forms government. All the elected members of that government then vote for the leader they want as the head of government and they become the Prime Minister. the Prime Minister then sits down with the various factions and works out which members will become ministers of a specific portfolio of responsibility. There are no "unelected" people with the responsibility of a ministry portfolio in the Westminster system and the Prime Minister is not a separate being or body from the two houses of government, he is a part of it.
Happy Retirement Joe. Thanks for keeping us on the road.
Agreed....
I think Harris, should she win, should ask him to serve as a special advisor. No one, and I mean NO ONE knows foreign policy like Biden. He’s still an invaluable asset.
Salute to *President Joe Biden* the best president in decades. He was the youngest then the eldest after serving 50+ years for this United States. Salute *President Joe BIden* good health to you. I will vote blue wave🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Yes Biden was awesome now Harris 😊😊and her Knowledge will run circles around tfg
Biden’s decision to pass the torch deserves huge praise.
To me, it’s an act of patriotism akin to that of General Washington when he declined the offer to be king. He’s officially the best Democratic president of my lifetime.
No offence, but it sounds like I'm somewhat older than you, and I watched JFK start us on the path to the moon and stare down Russia in 1962
Obama, pelosi, shift owns what just happened today... If their calculations goes sideways.. ughh nevermind.. the donor class has me by the short hairs.. I'll vote blue no matter who.. bummer tho because I voted for Biden and Harris ticket back in the primary...
If Harris wins his reputation as one of the great presidents is pretty solidly set. If he loses history will likely remember him the way it does the Roman emperor Claudius...
@@WBS001 I believe the OP's point is more about the ability to say no to the temptation of power.
Being President of the most powerful nation on the planet must be quite the rush.
To be able to put your country's best interest ahead of your personal desire to keep having that kind of power is nothing short of admirable.
🙌
I have mixed feelings, but the die is cast. I'm behind Harris 100%.
I'm with you. Staying the course. I'm a little sad though, in 38 yrs of voting, this November was the 1st one I had confidence in the president. But like with Bernie, I'm happy for his family.
its really about turn out now. trump is starting out with -20 percent of the reagan republicans who wont vote for trump. normally its about the same number of democratic voters and republican voters so they cancel each other out and the 10 percent of the independents determine who wins. but if there is a high democratic voter turnout, it wont really matter about the independent vote even with trump losing 20 percent of his base to start in the reagan republicans who wont vote trump.
Let’s make MAGA cry again!!!
I don't have a single problem with Harris being our next president.
I have a million problems with Trump being the president.

"We don't know if we can win! Quick, resort to racism and sexism!" - The GOP.
Sadly this has been a reasonable strategy in the past.
Early attack ads (yep, they've already started) are linking her to Joe's mental state, saying she was part of the cover-up. They're also leaning into her being in charge of the border policy the last four years.
As a Canadian I hope my 14 year old son was just being brilliantly witty today when he said "Sexism is second nature to Americans, because racism is first." He's a good and smart kid but we hope you prove him wrong.
To be fair, they use this tactic whether they think they're going to win or not. Really tickles the lizard brains of their supporters to feel superior while voting to cause yourself & those you love harm.

Honestly I was very nervous about Biden dropping out but over the course of the night I have noticed an electric unity which I haven't seen in a very long time. Donations seem to be confirming it too. Really really hope this was the right call and we can carry this throughout November.
Take away our right to abortion. We'll give you a woman president. Ok men?
Harris plainly refused to say that she would support a carve-out to the filibuster to codify Roe when pressed. If you're expecting any changes on that front, prepare to be disappointed.
Most men don't mind having a woman president. It wasn't "men" who did this. It was fascists! There's a lot of normal men on our side. Don't be divisisive!
You make it sound like if there’s a woman president she will be pro choice. You do realize being a woman doesn’t make one pro choice.
Works for me
I'm a man. And abortion is a tough enough decision as it is.
It needs to be up to the woman and her doctor, and that's it.
I know, I'll never have to make that decision.
Ever.
I just hope women are enraged enough to show up in masses in November and show the GOP that their time is over.
Remember, everyone, vote blue no matter who.
Nothing has changed here. The choice presented to you has not changed. You are still choosing whether or not you want democracy to continue in the United States. Trump is still the opponent.
Whatever your feelings on the situation, your job has not changed.
I'm an independent who will vote against Trump, but you Democrats have to fine a way to hold your party accountable. The "who" is too often decided in the back rooms. The super delegates are an authoritarian tool. The idea that 64% of democrats could vote for a guy like Bernie and still have the nomination go to Joe just sucks. Talk about the pot calling the kettle "colored".
@@timeenoughforart Hmm? I'm Canadian, so saying "you Democrats" isn't exactly accurate for me.
I'm just a concerned outsider hoping that our neighbour will make the right decision. I'd, personally, rather not have an authoritarian, christian nationalist state right next door.
And yes, there are certainly problems, but they can be dealt with later. Nothing about them can be dealt with in any meaningful capacity between now and November. So, until then, your job is clear.
Canadian, sorry about that. Part of the whole "trump" problem is he contaminates not just the Republicans but also the Democrats, actually the entire world. We are more willing to compromise our values in the single minded need to stop him.
Corporations have already hijacked our government. the values of Democracy are shriveling up as it increasingly become about power and only power.
I have to wonder are we choosing between a Christian Nationalist and a Corporate Dystopia? I bet most urban areas in Canada are virtually the same as those in America. WalMart, MacDonalds, Lowes, even if the names change they will all be owned by BlackRock, or some equally greedy outfit. Yes lets stop Trump, then lets take our countries back. I wish I thought the Democrats would do that.
Only a matter of time for all the pundits to decide that 59 is too young to be president.
Well then, they should be hammering on the JD Vance pick, since if Trump wins, the odds of him dying in office and Vance becoming president at 40 are definitely greater than zero. (A note for trivia night: Teddy Roosevelt was 42, about to turn 43, when he succeeded McKinley as president, upon the other's assassination.)
HaHaHa
Already happened, have you seen the clip of Stephen Miller losing his mind? I mean seriously, he sounds like a 3rd grader pleading with his mother that his older brother should not be allowed to stay up later than him.

A woman from a good background with a great record (mostly) going against a racist, rapist, liar, thief and traitor.
That there is ANY thought of electing the second is mindblowing, horrifying and tragic.
It's still a choice between a theocratic dictatorship, and boring politics as usual.
Tough choice for some people, apparently.
I'm not saying that's my position, but to explain that a bit - that's because the 'boring politics as usual' are unconscionable and utterly disgusting. American fascism I would agree is worse, but you surely have to see that some people can't bring themselves (or at least are unwilling to *say* they can bring themselves) to vote for the unconscionable and utterly disgusting.
I'm almost certainly way left of your political position.
I'd rather continue to press the Overton window than fight a civil war, which would destroy our country.
@@magellanicraincloud If you consider that as unconscionable and utterly disgusting, then you have the choice between unconscionable and utterly disgusting and unconscionable and utterly disgusting, rendering that part utterly irrelevant. It doesn't matter for whom or whether you vote, you will get it anyway. So vote for the parts you actually want.

@@Jay-lw5vq Did you read the bit where I said that wasn't my position, that I was just explaining other peoples' opinions? Lol at your first sentence as if that has anything to do with what I said.
Now Biden can focus on being president instead of running for it.
The problem (foriegn affairs wise...) is he instantly became a lame duck politician...
@@patrickjordan2233except that neither Putin nor Netanyahu was liable to give him the victory he needs in Ukraine/Gaza because both would likely prefer Trump as president.
He can spend the rest of his presidency on vacation.
In my opinion this decision was a mistake because it was half-assed. Just like everything else he's done with regard to Ukraine, and other things. Don't get me wrong, Biden has done incredibly well, but this is a half-assed decision. He either should have stayed in control of both the presidency and the nomination, or he should have given both to Harris. Therefore giving the incumbency to Harris. The right decision would have been to step down from being president as well... But like always that requires true leadership, and what he is not is a true leader, he absolutely is a fantastic administrator, and that is absolutely what we needed after that jackass before him
Executive orders and pardons especially for his son
I'm afraid that the corporate media will NOT take the "old guy" angle on anything presented when talking about Trump. If she gets the nomination, I don't think she has the pull that Biden did. She needs to find the PERFECT VP pick. Not because she is a woman and needs the support, but because little time has been spent presenting HER agenda. It needs to be HER that takes lead on this campaign.
So true. Trump has gotten a golden pass on all of his crimes, shortcomings, and NUMEROUS character flaws.
look at it this way, american elections normally have an even number of democrats and republicans who vote along party lines and the 10 percent of independents determines who wins. this year is special in that donald trump is starting out with -20 percent of his republican base in the reagan republicans who will never vote for trump.
so if the democrats mobilize a high voter turn out, the independent vote wont really matter with trump starting out -20 percent of his republican base.
Elections matter, and voting is a right that should never be underestimated.
For sure CNN won't F*ck those guys.
My representative is a delegate and hasn't declared for Harris yet, so I wrote and asked him to support her.
How did you find that out?
@@tiffanielafleur6597 a local news website reported on it. You could look up your U.S. representative's press releases or their social media, if they're a Democrat. I'm not sure how else to find other delegates and how they plan to vote, however.
@@redshirt5986My rep already endorsed her but my Senator is also a delegate and hasn't yet so I called his office. Super easy and takes just a minute!
@@tiffanielafleur6597 curses, thought i replied. I saw it on a local news source. I don't know how to find other delegates, party member representatives and senators tend to be delegates but there's more!
That's weird - you did reply, I saw it earlier. Anyway, I wanted to add that my Sen is Chuck Schumer, who's basically the head honcho Dem, so if anyone else reading this votes in NY state, call his office and put some pressure on him!
Changes nothing for me. My vote goes to the one who is best suited to defeat the Florida Orange Man.
I respect him so much for this! How many people would put the country’s future above their own power?!
Except I don't think he really just wanted "power". He seemed to genuinely care about ppl and want to keep helping us.
The Republicans now have the oldest candidate ever to run for Pres. That is a major positive issue for the Democrats.
Thank You Mr. President for all you have done for us and this nation - we are now moving on to UNITE and elect Democrats and defeat MAGA/Trump/Project2025. Vote Blue 2024!

I wouldn't either. Sadly, that's not what happened. He was pushed out by the money folks because they were afraid. Those same folks don't want Kamala either. I'm afraid that they have given us Trump because of their own lack of spine.
Me neither- I would fault the media and the money that forced him to dip out.
I don't fault him, especially if it was truly his choice and what is best for him and his family. But I don't think that's the case. I think he was forced out by media narrative and spineless democrats.

Blue policy v. Red policy. Voting blue no matter who.
blue policy gave us citizens united. the worst piece of legislation in history.
Another thing to expect is Republicans filing lawsuits in every state they possibly can saying that Biden isn't allowed to drop out or his electors aren't allowed to vote for another candidate in their primaries.
Yes, I’m worried about this. I hope Pelosi and her cabal crew are working on that….
Not an expert but if they do file lawsuits it would be meant to sew chaos. Any candidate could drop out at any time. The lawsuits only make sense if there is another objective like making Kamala illegitimate. Republican playbook, so simple.
Technically there don't have to be primaries- the party (no matter what one) can convene it's delegates, and they choose the candidate without one vote being cast. I'm not sure how state laws have evolved to reflect this. But prior to the nomination, I doubt there would be any legal standing (their delegates by the way, not electors. So they are not appointed by the state legislatures but chosen by party leadership in each state.)
The DNC has its own rules that govern the nomination. Republicans have no say in that whatsoever. Primaries don't even have to happen for the DNC to choose its nominee.
Parties don't work like that. States have rules about who can be on the ballot, but neither Democrats or Republicans can meddle internally with the other party or their primaries.
She can handle it. Timing is perfect for her. Vote.
50 state chairs (I sit on a county party committee here) so ALL of them have now endorsed her. ALL major donors have endorsed her. ALL reasonable primary opponents have endorsed her. She is the nominee in all but fact, and she WILL win.
Careful.... This was the attitude HRC had and it did not win her any points. Ive seen multiple posts online expressing bitter feelings about votes in the primary being disregarded by elites. I think the majority were quite likely trolls but it wouldnt be the first time public opinion was influenced by such. Harris, in my humble opinion, needs to demonstrate her abilities to govern and unify and what better way than by convincing the Left to leave off forming circular firing squads for a few months....

I'm afraid this is just too a misogynistic country for Harris to win, even on a Democratic ticket.
There's already a Facebook meme about how she's not qualified for the office because one of her parents was not a citizen. 🙄 God i hate Facebook.
Just respond saying to read the Constitution that they claim to love so much.
Trump’s mom was from Scotland….so there’s that. 😊
she was born in California. PS dotards mom was not an American citizen!!
Her parent isn't running for president so that meme is meaningless
@lisab2543 and possibly an illegal immigrant at the start
Thanks Beau for helping to keep me sane. I appreciate you😢 I was so hopeful President Biden wouldn’t quit. This is all Trump’s mess for our nation this didn’t have to get to this.
you really have to look at it from a high voter turnout and energizing the young vote and base for democrats. in a normal election there is an even number of democrats and republicans cancelling each other out in a way so the 10 percent of independents determine who wins. but this election trump is starting out with -20 percent of the republican base in the reagan republicans who will never vote for trump.
so if democrats can mobilize and have a high voter turnout, they will win easily with trump starting out -20 in his base. the 10 percent independent vote wont really factor in as well.
i believe they can mobilize and vote for the first woman president of african american and south asian descent. the youth vote likely will come out and vote for that.
in the end though its a stop game to prevent trump from destroying america's democracy and in 4 years they can elect new young candidates and trump will be too old to run.

Everything you know and love is at stake.
Most people on this channel would agree with you, including myself. The problem is we need undecided and independant voters. If you think people had a prejudice againt Biden's age wait until the prejudice against Vice- President Harris begins
that's crazy, no matter who? Wow.
Even though I will still support the Democratic nominee, I am quite unhappy they bullied Biden to drop out.
Based on the "news" unquestioningly following social media comments and a bunch of Democrats being too stupid or gutless to push back on it. Media outlets demand a close race for easy ratings.
If this backfires and they lose this is going to dumbest political move they have ever made. Throwing away the incumbency over a 90 minute "debate" that was not covered fairly at all seems foolish.
The good news is the right wing stuck with Trump. If they chose someone else this would probably be a runaway victory for them.
The guy was way too mentally slow to be president at this point. He's 81 years old, and it's really showing. Looks like parkinsons.
I don't think it was bullying, but I do think 81 is too old to be president (being 85 at the end of his term). The average life span for an American male is like 78 or something like.
President Biden is only 3 years older than Trump have you seen republicans or the media ever talk about his age or mental instability. The Democratic Party just handed the presidency to Trump.
Corporate Dems & MSM aided the Reich Wing in handing this country over to RWNJs - and Putin.
Just saw on MSNBC she has raised thirty million dollars today.
I am personally and proudly responsible for $50 of that
Joe Biden was an awesome President and achieved so much for the American people. He is respected around the world and will be always honoured for the way he and Jill have conducted themselves in his presidency. He will be missed, but Kamala is well and truly able to take the reins and the White House in November, so everyone vote BLUE💙💙💙
Around the world he's seen as one of the worst US Presidents in history. Clinton stopped a genocide when he invaded the Balkans, Joe enthusiastically committed one. He's worse than Andrew Jackson, to be honest.
Damnit, I just spent $2.49 0n a Biden Harris '24 bumper sticker, and stuck it on my car. Now I gotta spend $7.89+ tax on some goo to remove it. In this economy. Thanks Obama.
Lol! Sorry about that. I'm still going to wear my Biden Harris T Shirts!
"Thanks Obama" gets me every time 😂
😅
I can’t imagine how crushed he is. What he has given our country for so many years.😢
It speaks to his basic decency that he put the good of the country over his own ambitions. That’s just who Joe Biden is.
America betrayed him in 2022 and gave Congress to the clown show.
Be assured at this point the narrative will shift to him making the right move and he will start to get praise. At the end of the day it's not about his feelings it's about not having trump and the worst people in this country on the levers of power for 4 years.
He should feel proud. He has done a lot, has time to do a bit more and is passing the torch to the next generation while also giving us some potential progress as well. I think him endorsing her has more weight than our assumptions. Of course Beau is right that it isn't guaranteed but her nomination has many advantages.

So am I. For the second time. And trump won that time.
Ha. That's funny. They haven't honored the will of the voters for decades.
Impossible, since we all voted in the primaries for Biden AND Harris, so if she's the nominee, it absolutely WILL BE the clear will of the voters.💯👍
@@DocRock71 Totally agree!
Shit happens
Trump should follow Joe’s lead and step down. Trump is too old to be president!
He's too corrupt to not be in prison.
His age doesn't disqualify him, but his utter lack of compassion, education, and personal ethics, along with his criminal activity, certainly should.
There is a reason for the old addage; don't change horses in the middle of a stream. However, I would vote for Harris.
Hey! Did you know that trump is OLD? What now, corporate media? Why isn't a rambling 1/2 hour speech with every sentence being two parts where the parts don't even have anything to do with each other an issue? And each one followed with a stupid nickname that a five-year-old would come up with? What now, corporate media?
Now they will focus their attacks on Kamala while normalizing Trump.
I’m so sad that President Biden stepped down but excited to possibly see our first woman President!
I'm relieved.
Biden in 2016 was expected to be a 1 term president. In 2020 He was the only one who could beat Trump. He no longer is.
I admire his accomplishments.
The history books will look very kindly upon him.
But, his age was a real issue, and I'm happy that a much younger candidate can now destroy Trump.
Grandpa Joe just didn't have the energy that's needed. And that's fine.
Happy he's passing on the baton.

I’m not optimistic that our country will live up to its promise. Will they really vote for a black, South Asian woman? Skeptical.

His ego put him in this position. Any degree of self reflection or humility would have dictated some time ago that he wasn't up to the task. He literally had to bullied into doing the right thing. Equally, credit to him for actually doing it, but I fundamentally disagree that he has been treated badly. He had made himself an obstacle to defeating Trump.

You have faith that half of Americans will vote at all? I'm not hanging my coat on faith; this was an extremely unwise move on the part of the Democratic party. This is way too late in the game to switch out the quarterback.
@@abraxasjinx5207 you have a better chance of energizing the youth vote with harris than with biden.
@@abraxasjinx5207 its all about high turnout for democrats, trump backing out of debates so its all about the ground game. they get a high turnout with trump losing 20 percent of his reagan republicans, the independent vote wont matter much even. its what is special about this election, normally about the same amount of republican and democratic voters so the 10 percent of independents determines who wins. with trump starting out -20 percent of the republican base with reagan republicans refusing to vote for trump. high turnout by dem voters and they win easily.
The total percentage doesn't matter. The only states that matter are the battleground states and those are where we need the Democrats to win at least 50.1% of each state's vote.
That job is very hard on a person. I'm angry at the Dems that were pushing him out. That travel is hard on a person. It might be for the best but it's frightening.
I’ve been thinking hard since Biden’s announcement. I think it *was* for the best, b/c it cut the legs out from under the Trump campaign. They were very successfully painting Biden as a doddering old man. Now their only play has been turned against them. It’s Trump who is the doddering old man - also a racist, a fraud, a liar, and a wannabe Führer. #MakeAmericaLaughAgain #VoteBlue2SaveDemocracy
I'm not a Biden guy, I voted for him because that other slimebag can't be anywhere near our White House.
With Harris being endorsed we don't have any time to make a gamble with a no-name candidate because of the huge high-risk stakes. She has experience running the country with Biden. They have pleasantly surprised me in a good way, not everything, and some just at the bare minimum. Some progressive policies
took place. It's now Harris all the way and let's kick Trump's you know what.
Agree whole heartedly, We must stand up, unite behind the BLUE TEAM...
My fave comment here!
I'd vote for a sack of doorknobs if it would keep Trump out of the White House.
True, but isn't it a sad thing that the tax-paying American people are now reduced to voting for politicians who will do the LEAST damage? Don't you think we deserve better?
@@michaelgl8516 Yes and yes.
Risky, indeed. I in no way oppose Harris as the candidate, but Biden's stepping aside this late in the election cycle hasn't struck me as a good idea since the idea was first floated, especially as those pushing it hadn't proposed a candidate. What has irritated me all along about the "step aside" crowd is that most of them seem to be people who have the resources to protect themselves in the event of a Trump victory and the implementation of Project 2025, leaving the rest of us to deal with it as best we can.
I've noticed that as well.
It's very much akin to all the Rs thrilled w/Dobbs: either could never have gotten pg, too old for pg, or enuf $$ for a med vacay.
Apparently, some of the democrats calling for Biden to step aside didn't (don't) want Harris to replace him. It will be interesting heading into the convention. I wish we had everything together.
Yup, agree with u 100%
It's less risky than sticking with Biden. That's all that matters.
@@dinolover1978 They've had almost four years to decide he's too old to serve, isn't it "interesting" that they've waited until now to kick up a fuss? I suppose they didn't expect him to win in the primaries.

Not gonna lie, I have been waiting for this vid since I heard the news.
My heart hurts for Biden. It really does. And it hurts how many people don't know all he's done for us. But I do think he wouldn't do it if he didn't believe it was right. I trust him to do that. I'm 💯 behind Harris and I trust her too. 💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊
I would like to see the Democratic Party to pull together to back Harris. I’m not expecting that, but I’d like to see it.
Just for once, I'd like to see the left show a unified front for ANYONE. That's the biggest advantage maga has right now: they will back their pick to the point of worshipping him like a god. I'm really afraid of another split leftist vote like we saw in 2016, especially with no certain candidate this late in the game.
I'll do what needs done at the ballot box but I don't have a good feeling about any of this if I'm being honest
