2. SOUNDBITE (English) Willie Futrelle, Washington, DC Resident:
"The current president was, in my opinion, a better option than the other options at the time. And I think he’s done the best that he can with his age and experience but people when you’ve never lived the lives that they’re living."
++SOUNDBITE #4 PART COVERED++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Anne Filipic, Washington, DC Resident:
"I think my overwhelming feeling is just one of gratitude and gratitude for both for what an amazing president he’s been. I think he’s been one of the most impactful and effective. But also just gratitude for his entire career and how he has put country first, and is doing it again today."
5. Pro-Kamala Harris sign

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Anne Filipic, Washington, DC Resident:
"We’re behind the times in the United States. Most countries have had female leaders, so we’re ready. And we’re behind Kamala."
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Wille (pronounced willey), Virginia Resident:
"Well, I think he lied to us for years. He said his health was fine. Kamala said his health was fine. Karine Jean-Pierre said his health was fine. Then the debate happened and we all saw his health is not fine. Imagine that. The media covered for him. A month ago we were told anything said about his health being wrong or being, cognitive decline meant that it was, a cheap fake or misinformation. Then a week later, the debate happened and all of a sudden, oh, we can say that as the truth. We’re tired of being lied to. Stop lying to us. Also, I’m not a Trump supporter."
8. "You’re the best" and "Thank you" balloons outside of White House
++SOUNDBITE +9 PART COVERED++
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Kyle Lierman, Washington, DC Resident:
"The fact that he’s someone who’s willing to step aside from power, and not put himself first, put the country first. I think it’s a huge deal. And I think it just shows the type of leader he is. And, you know, we took all that in and we said, we got to go thank him."
10. Pro-Biden sign
++SOUNDBITE #11 PART COVERED++
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Sheptock, Washington, DC Resident:
"We shouldn’t have two guys that are just on either side of 80 years old running. I mean, not to be an ageist, you know, age discrimination thing, but you don’t have any younger people in either party?"

STORYLINE:
President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he is dropping his reelection bid against Donald Trump, in a social media post that sent political shockwaves around the country and threw an element of turmoil into the election just months before voters go to the polls.
Biden’s decision came on the heels of a poor debate performance that prompted many rank-and-file Democratic lawmakers to urge him to withdraw from the race. The president said he will address the nation later this week “in more detail about my decision.”
Biden threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democrats’ new candidate, and she vowed to “earn and win” the nomination.
Biden supporters could be seen outside of the White House on Sunday, voicing support for both the president and for Harris.
"The fact that he’s someone who’s willing to step aside from power, and not put himself first, put the country first. I think it’s a huge deal. And I think it just shows the type of leader he is," commented Washington, DC resident Kyle Lierman.
The positive feelings were not unanimous.
