Initial reaction to President Joe Biden's address to the American people



Even though President Joe Biden wonโ€™t be on the ballot in November, voters will still be weighing his legacy.

In an address to the American people, Biden explained his decision to step down at the end of his presidential term, championed his successes in office, and laid out his agenda over the next half year.

KOMO News political analyst Ron Dozauer of Strategies 360 joined anchors Molly Shen and Preston Phillips to react to Bidenโ€™s speech.

  1. The only (suggested) explanation for Biden's decision, not to run for re-election but to step aside, was the need for a united Democratic Party, which has not been united since the 27 June debate.
    So, given the supposedly existential threat of an end to "our democracy" (meaning, an overthrow of the continued rule by the Democratic Party), Biden is obliged to step aside in order to unite the party.
    Now, whether the rest of us find it "democratic" or not, the Party is indeed united, behind Kamala Harris.

  2. I thought that he was announcing stepping down from being president. His left side of face was so swollen, he looked like he was drooling at the end on left also, it was sad, he must be really ill. Even repeating something about winter? I hope he gets rest, maybe he had a stroke.

  6. Maybe it would be more transparent coverage in media that could save the nation? Where does komo news get their talking
    Points? I wonder if A Ipac has some stake in Sinclair group. The tide is turning towards justice. Asking for people to stop blowing the limbs off children to stop the barbarism of this war, should not be considered violent. Calling for peace that challenges the ulta capitalist hegemony is a righteous Christian act. Its a righteous path to be the champion victims of cruelty from their occupier. Peace always wins.

  8. He doesn't look real. Just look at his face compared to the recent debate. He has no wrinkles here and there's no detail to his actual skin. His eyes and mouth look really weird, too.

  9. Ya know, it was Easy to tell this was not live and see that it was not shot in the actual oval office. Watch the trees behind him… they don't move. Even on the stillest of days, trees move a little. This whole administration has been pulling the wool over the American People's eyes from inauguration day on. Everything going on right now, with what the democrat party is trying to do by installing Harris without a vote of the people, is a VERY SAD state of affairs for America. We are in a very dangerous time. The democrats claim to be the party that will save democracy in America while they are boldly and systematically destroying it. I am done with them.
