    He didn't change his mind, he was forced out by the big donors turning off the tap. Big money buying the party candidate.
  • @jordancobb509
    He didn't decide anything. The people with the money decided for him.
  • @kenbrock-studio
    This is choreographed. Be clear. The timing of the announcement to change the game pulled most of the air out of the RNC. A Jedi move. Trumps best next is, "We just beat Biden, whose next?" Can run that for weeks. Biden's trounce is "Did you?"

    😂😂 does cbs believe this garbage they are spewing??
  • @MrRacket991
    Why do "news" people always talk to us like we're learning-impaired adults? It's so annoying.
  • @Badkittys4
    Joey was forced out, where's Mrs Brandon? Shame hiding or packing 😂
  • @benguensche
    He’s gonna be super grumpy when they tell him what they posted on twitter
  • @bachfan7537
    Trump told him a couple weeks ago (sitting on his golf cart) that he was done. Trump beat him. lol
  • Joe: did I win? DNC: no Joe, we’re allowing you to quit before your fired Joe: isn’t that Voter Suppression DNC: go ask Bernie Joe: but that’s undemocratic DNC: go speak with Hillary Joe: so you’re telling me I’m out. Really? DNC: here’s a roadmap and an Apple. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
  • Drop out ? ...it safe to say he never was in it 😆💀💀☠☠
  • @beckykent6674
    He made this decision on his own??? 😅😅😅😅 That is hilarious! The Dems knew he was an idiot and forced him to leave!! Kamala has no chance of winning!!!😅😅😅
  • @CatherinaVilar
    He should've given a news conference, not a letter, for this dropping out. Just proves he'd been bullied out of the race.
