    Thank you, Mr. President Joe Biden for the time you gave for service to the USA. You are an example for all of us to follow. Your honor, your respect, a man with dignity and pride. You are from a time when people treated others as neighbors who cared for each other. I appreciate how you addressed the country when you spoke. Decency is very rare in politics, but you are a decent man, and we love you and wish you the best always.
  • Oh my God, I am SO thankful for our dear President Biden! He literally saved our country and straightened out so many troubles. AND he gave us Kamala! Thank you sir, we will NEVER forget what youve done and we love you! 💙🇺🇲☘️🇺🇲💙

    I thank this interviewer for showing respect to the President with his question style, not combative or dismissive. Thank you CBS.
  • POTUS BIDEN is an authentic example of the fighting IRISH 💚☘️
  • President Biden's legacy is stellar! His decision to step down further cemented him in American history as a leader who has done many exceptional things for America and laid and presented another the opportunity for him to be"the transition President" of whom he spoke. The decision to endorse VP Harris was SUPERB! I applaud both President Biden and VP Harris. I hope Mr. Biden decides to counsel VP Harris after she becomes President whenever requested.

    Thank God we have this example of a truly decent man who demonstrates what it means to serve, to sacrifice and to love this country

    He will go down as one of the best presidents in history, just with everything that he’s accomplished. Bipartisan covid bill, 90% vaccinated, 15M new jobs, ended Afghan war, $1T bipartisan infrastructure bill, largest investment in green energy in history, 50year unemployment low, bipartisan gun control bill, respect for marriage act, reduced the deficit, etc etc‬

    I feel bad for him. A 2016 Biden presidency would have been great.
