He is far from a good and decent man! He's a corrupt sex pest. Even his own daughter has questioned his very questionable behaviour

You're thinking of Trump.

If only he’d done it six months earlier. They could have got all the nominee tomfuckery out of the way long ago and be well underway with the presidential campaign. With only 4 months to go they’ve basically given it to Trump in a nice shiny box with a bow on top.

Not sure I agree. I think Biden had to stretch it out as far as he possibly could. The Democrats needed to know this is emergency stations. No in-fighting, no personal ambition. A good man is down, and now there is no time for anything but to pull together and stop Trump.

He’s a good and decent man. I think this is the right thing. Genuinely think he is one of the best. It’s sad he is just too old to continue.

Something in my eye, a bit.

Well done Joe.

Who will replace him?

The right decision. Interesting times.

He has been very stubborn but I'm glad common sense has finally prevailed. I wonder how he was persuaded.

Money… he was hemorrhaging donor support.

He had to.

Hard decision for him, without a doubt, but he has left it so late that Trump is very likely to win regardless now.
