People were left wondering who would replace him in the race against Donald Trump until he officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic Party’s nominee shortly after making his announcement. It’s been a LOT to say the least, and both Hollywood AND Washington D.C. are reacting!
Just hours after Joe made his announcement, Kamala reacted to news of his endorsement of her on X (Twitter.) See (below):

Trump, of course, took the opportunity to jump on the POTUS, calling him the “worst president in the history of the United States by far” in a statement to NBC News. He added:
“There has never been a president who has done such damage to our country, from energy independence to letting in millions and millions of illegal immigrants.”

Okay everybody, now we have our marching orders and time to hit the trail running. No to Trump/Vance. No to the right-wing Christian religious takeover of our nation. Nothing wrong with Christianity; just shouldn’t be running a nation birthed from freedom of religion.… https://t.co/cqk0fRLWPA
