46 early reactions to Joe Biden’s bombshell withdrawal from the Presidential election

After weeks of criticism and speculation on his cognitive ability and fitness to run for re-election, Joe Biden has announced that he will not be accepting the Democratic nomination.

Here’s how he shared the news with the world.

He added his thoughts on, and his endorsement of, his VP Kamala Harris.

Dr. Jill Biden kept her response simple.

A series of slip-ups, including some serious mistakes during his head-to-head debate with Donald Trump, had led to even longtime supporters and friends like George Clooney and Rob Reiner calling for the 81-year-old to stand down.

With his customary lack of grace and his inability to stick to facts, Trump shared his reaction on Truth Social.

Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve - And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t - And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Responses not from the MAGA cult tended to be much kinder.
