“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.

Absolutely correct. And Trump is very beatable. The Democrats have loads of candidates who could beat him (including, IMO, Biden, but that’s in the past, now).
Whatever the outcome will be, I am sure the campaign will become hotter. I think the Dems will bring someone with a more radical speech than Trump, and they better do - Trump has shown what he can do during his 2016 campaign.
And the age is not doing a service to Trump either.
If there’s one thing that I can say with certainty about Kamala Harris, she is a phenomenal speech giver. Eloquent, emotive, and snappy. She is a very good speaker.
