"I’m not surprised. I think he needed to. We’re a divided country, and I’m sorry for that. But we were hoping that he was going to bring us unity and it didn’t work out that way."

"Some of us age differently. He’s aged and God he’s given how many years? Almost 50 years to us. Time to pass the torch."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Jimmy Bonilla, independent voter:
"I thought it was actually pretty interesting. I thought it was pretty nice- kind of a change of pace. I understand some people weren’t very supportive of President Biden currently, at the moment, despite him being fully left wing, fully Democratic. But I understand it was probably for a general good cause. I don’t think a lot of people are very in favor of Kamala Harris, but it’s probably the next best course of action that could be going on right now."

STORYLINE:
Voters nationwide reacted with relief and hope to news that President Joe Biden would drop his reelection bid. Biden announced his decision to withdraw from the race for the Democratic nomination in a public letter on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor.

While some voters expressed gratitude for Biden stepping aside and quickly rallied behind Harris, others indicated preferences for a different candidate, such as Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Recent AP-NORC polling revealed that nearly two-thirds of Democrats felt Biden should withdraw from the presidential race, while a majority believe Harris would perform well in the top slot.
