letter to the nation in a statement about ending his campaign. ds ipart it has been the greatest honor of myto serve as your president and while it has b intention it seek re-election i think i is the best interest of my party and country to stand down and fulfill my duties for my term. i will speak later but let me express my gratitude it see those seeing me re-elected. i want to think vice president rris being an extraordinary partner and my hear felt appreciation for the trust that you have placed in me. president biden in that letter to the nation yesterday. it feels about a -- it feels about a half hour after that he came out to fully endorse camp will harris as the next president sending out tweets @joe biden on twitter that my

very first decision as a party nominee in 2020 was to pick her as my vice president and has been a decision, the best decision i have paid. i want to offer my full support and endorsementor her to be the nominee. democrats need it come together and beat trump. let's do this. that tweet coming about 2:15 p.m. eastern yesterday. political world sent shock waves with those. we are getting your response this morning spending all three hours taking phone calls, taking about it topic. the phone lines for democrats, republicans an independents starting with democrats it is helen in north carolina. good morning. caller: i'm on the independence line but any way i want the american people to know these people in washington, d.c., all

they want is power. you see, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer. barack obama, none of them come out and favor her. american people, please wake up. don't fall for these democrats. they justment power. thank you. host: to hempstead, new york, gerald, independent. caller: i'm a black man and i live in new york. i'm surprised that any kind of black man will consider voting for joe biden because of his stand with gaza. host: joe biden is not standing for re-election as of yesterday. caller: yes, but kamala harris was there we joe biden was doing his genocide in gaza.

to me that is inconsistent with being a black man. so that is my stand. host: a democrat in michigan, good morning. caller: good morning. how are we doing today? host: how are we doing? caller: i'm doing great. we talked before you asked why i couldn't vote. i'm a retired teacher, a snowbird and at my michigan home. july 4 i got to go to a fund-raiser, a barbecue where governor newsom spoke less than a mile from my home. free barbecue so it was a free lunch.

biden is such a hero. he got pushed out. the democrats were really shooting themselves in the foot because they taught he was -- they thought he was not capable of doing the job they would have said something six, eight, 10 months ago and they didn't. i'm really upset with that. but i love harris and i think that the ticket should be harris-biden. less travel for biden and keep his knowledge and experience. we have to save it world from trump -- save it world from trump. i ride my trike three hours a day with a sticker biden harris and the republicans give me the f bottom and i say have a great day and other people i talk and

i have given their kids here at south beach frisbees from my collection and say go vote to the parents. republicans are so ignorant and i don't think they know what the definition of ignorant is. it is lacks accurate information. host: do you think the democrats' chances of beating donald trump improved yesterday? caller: i think joe could have beat them with no problem and i think that -- yes, they have. i hope they don't fight over the nominee and make another spectacle of themselves. we have no choice but to win to save our planet, to save our sanity. like i said, republicans don't know the definition of ignorance, lacking information.

i don't know of one republican that watched the january hearings. they don't watch important events. i have been retired of course it was kind of a forced retirement but i was retired sense 2007, i'm 62 and have a good grasp of what is going on because i watch you folks and a lot of different news. host: steve, republican in california up early, san jose. good morning. caller: good morning. i watched the january 6 events. i have three points and i can do this in 60 seconds. the first point is biden is out not because he had a bad day on a debate. he is out because the democrats, everyone of them including harris, the news media, press

secretary, k.g.b., covered up his infirmities and incompetence. he is out because our lying eyes are not lying. they can't hide that fact any more. point number two, as your first caller mentioned, you will notice that barack obama, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer have not endorsed harris. if in the next week or two if she doesn't poll well i believe the d.n.c. at the convention will have an open primary. point three, the only solution to this mess for the democrats is to have michelle obama run as vice president on the ticket with harris and heaven help us if that happens. host: that feels a minute and eight seconds. well done.
