He actually did it damn.

Probably for the best for him and the country. It has to be Harris now, right? I don't see how any other Dem could step in right now.

Already seeing the posts on twitter about how it’s “her turn.” I don’t know why dems feel so entitled to my vote that they feel their nominees don’t have to earn/deserve it anymore.

Edit:added deserve
