"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term," Biden wrote.

Edit: He's endorsing Harris. all the news sites have live feeds.

Biden endorsed Harris, so that fits the bill and more. I am not a huge fan of Harris (she's a cop for one), but I do think she will not stand for Trump's bs

I'm not a huge fan of Harris, either, but I'll sure vote for her instead of the Fourth Reich.

I'd say media coverage of her has been so abysmal that no one knows what she's even done as VP, but in trying to think of a veep who did get more coverage, I'm drawing a blank.

All I can think of is the Weekend Update that included Kevin Nealon for no reason showing a picture of Spiro Agnew and saying, "Former vice president Spiro Agnew," pausing a beat and then moving along. I was too young to know the name, so it felt incredibly random.

Oh for sure going to vote for her. Trump will end democracy, Harris at the very least won't make things worse.
