In an abrupt about-face, President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he would no longer be running for re-election and threw his support to Vice President Kamala Harris. The sudden move sparked reaction across the country, and of course right here in the nation's capital. FOX 5's Tom Fitzgerald is live from the White House with more.

    Let's be clear, Biden didn’t decide not to run. Others decided for him.
  • @maramcmanus9669
    Why don't you ask the voters how they feel about it, rather than professional politicians. It's their opinion that matters in this moment.
  • @gamerworld2355
    I think it's kind of funny how the media hasn't talked about Kamala Harris for the past 4 years hardly at all and now all of a sudden she's the number one candidate
  • @ErichHiller44
    How does everyone all of a sudden think Kamala is a good candidate?
  • @SWNewYork315
    But everyone thought that Vivek was crazy when he called it at a debate last year.
  • @nl212ep
    It’s a surprise??? Have you been living under a rock?
  • Most popular president ever, I thought? Zero cognitive decline, I thought? Border secure, I thought? Economy great, I thought? Safe and effective, I thought?
  • @johnman8647
    Weren't they coalescing behind Biden before the debate? Flip flopping like a desperate fish outta water.
  • @KingFergus
    Thanks for what ?!?!?! Inflation? High taxes? A completely unaffordable economy? An open border?
  • @MONKMIKE
    Other's Decided for him, Not Biden.
  • @michael2580
    Took away the ability to vote for a candidate. Well then
  • @toddeckel9658
    Totally overblown. It doesn't even come close to a historic day. It was expected.
  • @tylerbrown5315
    Wow this was predicted like a year ago almost to the tee.
