I have now words of my own!! I’ll share the following — a bit long!!

🗳️ … well, it’s happened!! — My words right now fail me — matter of fact I have none that make sense!! — This is why I HAVE to borrow the words of a dear FB friend, DClifton, CA, after asking for his OK. Here goes …

“I could not be more proud of President Joseph R. Biden than I am right now!

Joe Biden just announced he will “stand down” from his bid for reelection. I cannot imagine what a hard decision this must be. I do understand what a selfless act this is – putting country ahead of personal ambitions.

In the next fews days the President will deliver an address to the nation fully explaining his rationale for stepping aside.

President Biden has accomplished more in this 3 1/2 years in office, so far, than just about any other President in the modern era. He is a good and decent man, the perfect man and President to bring America out of the pandemic, out of the darkness of the Trump administration. He was the perfect person to defeat Trump, and to be a bridge to a new generation of leaders.

I assume Joe Biden will give his full support to VP Kamala Harris. There will be some sort of process to nominate her, or possible someone else; though I think going down that path would be a grave mistake. Now that the President has stepped aside, the party most come together. And it must come together behind the Vice President.

Can you imagine how President Biden will be greeted at the Democratic National Convention now?
The level of adulation he will rightly receive for such a selfless act?
And can you imagine the shot of adrenaline this will inject into the Democratic Party’s energy and excitement surrounding the upcoming election?

Update: President Biden has just announced his support for Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee!

VP Harris will be an excellent candidate to go against Donald Trump. As one commentator remarked earlier: “She’ll be a prosecutor going against a convicted felon. She’ll be a woman who wants to protect peoples’ rights going against an old man who wants to take rights away.”

The Trump has planned its entire campaign around running against Joe Biden. What will they do now? How badly will they be forced to scramble to recalibrate their message to fit the Vice President? How frightened might they be at the idea of their rambling old-man candidate facing Kamala Harris in a debate?

This is an historic day.
And historic decision by President Biden.
And it remains an historic election this fall.
For now, the campaign has been turned on its head.
And I can already feel the excitement building as plans are made for us to move forward together.

Kamala Harris is a woman.
She is a woman of color.
She is the daughter of immigrants.
She is basically everything so many conservatives love to hate.

For that reason – if she becomes the nominee, as I believe she will – the Republicans will mount one of the ugliest, dirtiest campaigns imaginable. But in VP Harris, we will have a candidate more than capable of weathering whatever storm they send her way.

Joe Biden will “stand down”.
Kamala Harris will stand up.
And we must stand behind her all the way to the White House!! … 🗳️
