Yes Sir Mr O'Donnell, you WERE NOT one of the MSNBC backstabbers and believe me you and ONLY you are getting mine and many many others continued viewership. Thank you Sir for your integrity 🙏 👏

Thank you Lawrence. I never met presdent Biden, but i cried after hearing his announcement. I realize he made the best decision for America. I see why he chose Kamala as his VP and she will carry the torch and keep depmcracy alive and well. We must win this election for President Biden, for our rights, for democracy! Harris 2024 💙🇺🇸

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

@cherylpa527 - I'm not even American (I'm English), but I too had a little cry when I heard that Biden was not going to seek re-election. But then I felt relief because the only thing the Republicans had against Joe Biden was his age - they cannot fight against his record - now Kamala Harris will take this amazing record of achievements into her battle against those who wish to return America to the dark ages.

[@mssage974]

I felt as sad as I would feel if a close member of my family had died when President Biden left the race. I am still sad, but we must fight on and win the race for democracy. Vote blue all the way.

I agree with everything you say, Lawrence O'Donnell...this essay is a keeper for the ages.

[@xelamercedes]

For almost a month now, Lawrence O'Donnell's show has been the only news program produced by corporate media that I've been able to stomach. This clip is a beautiful example of why. High school history teachers would be doing themselves and their students a great favor by including some of his broadcasts in the curriculum. He teaches important chapters from American history that most students will never be exposed to. Like Joe Biden, Lawrence O'Donnell is a national treasure.

[@catherine7147]

I wholeheartedly agree! It’s the only program on MSNBC I can watch. All the others smile and giggle at Trump and bully and disrespect Joe Biden. Joe Scarborough..are you happy now?

[@joshuatree5668]

Lawrence O'Donnell's show has consistently done America a disservice by lying every night to the public about the presidents mental acuity. The gaslighting, the gaslighting of his peers, almost put us in an unwinnable position. The man doing this segment is the same guy who weeks ago told us not to believe what we saw at the presidential debate. Lawrence O'Donnell is not an arbiter of the truth, he's an incredibly partisan talk show host. The fact that this segment here is "beautiful" and wrapped up in hallmark sentimentality is further proof that no, he shouldn't be telling our kids anything. Vote blue though

As a South African I was shocked, deeply saddened and nauseated by the way Congressmen, former Democratic Speaker,, former Democratic president, so-called "objective" media and friends treated the best president of USA in modern era, President Biden. The media only focused on and had interviews with those who wanted President Biden to step down. They didn't have interviews with those who wanted him to be the nominee. They never mentioned those, eg, Hispanics who endorsed him last week. So I cannot thank you enough Lawrence O'Donnell for supporting him. Thank you so much.

[@Littlejohn-i3o]

Those who wanted Biden to drop out was his own party like Schumer and many others ordered him to drop out. It's was a soft coup. Shows the cannibals of corrupt democratic party. They are done with him you can really tell by how his party shut off his re-election money. The party that will eat their own like a cannibal, no loyalty. His party should have done that when he couldn't string together a sentence that made sense over and over and over again.

President Biden gave 50 years of his life to the USA. People should show respect for him. He fought through a lot of personal grief and still did everything he could in diversity. Even now when he is sick with COVID he still takes the time to wish her the best and thank all of the people who have helped him through everything. I wish him the best when his term is over. I hope he has many more years to spend with his family and not worry about the whole world. Thank you president Biden

And he's still got 4 months on the job. Don't think for a minute he's done working his butt off for us.

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

Six months until inauguration of the next president in January 25 - as Biden correctly noted on his call. Yes, I agree, he will not be slowing down, in fact he can now spend his time working at being the president instead of having to campaign relentlessly.

[@Southeren]

Working his butt off? Biden already got exposed for only being able to work 6 hours a day. How do yall just ignore facts like that and pretend as if Bidens some different person from reality?

@@dennisreed3382chips act infrastructure bill capped insulin at 35 dollars. Thirteen million jobs. Over 800 thousand new manufacturing jobs increased wages lowered unemployment. And inflation is going down. Not once did Biden embarrass us on the world stage. Trump is a convict . I checked as an independent voter. The Republicans haven’t legislated ANYTHING for the American people and their families in over fifty years. They have lost seven out of the last eight popular vote elections . They are the least registered Americans with independents leading and democrats second . Read Project 25. The Republicans want to go back to pre civil war. And after wards . NO!
