President Joe Biden announced Sunday afternoon that he is ending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
Here’s how some of Minnesota’s top politicians are reacting to the news:
President Biden: a giant in American history.

I'm joining Joe Biden in endorsing Kamala Harris for President of the United States.
Harris is a fantastic choice to lead the Democratic ticket. She fought to protect consumers as California's attorney general. She worked to improve public safety as a district attorney. She… https://t.co/WNEDi5loUd

Thank you, Mr. President.
This was the president’s decision to make and I’m grateful for his years of service to our country.

President Biden’s announcement is an extraordinary act of selflessness and leadership from a president who has built an equally extraordinary legacy.
Our party must now rally behind Vice-President Harris and emerge as a united front ready to defeat Donald Trump in November. pic.twitter.com/WOgyzVoK3p

If the Democrat party has deemed Joe Biden unfit to run for re-election, he’s certainly unfit to control our nuclear codes.
Biden must step down from office immediately.

After @TheDemocrats – including @GovTimWalz – spent months lying to the American people that Biden was fit to run for re-election, he has finally dropped out. But why is he still fit to be the President of the US if he's not fit to be a candidate?
Biden must resign… https://t.co/vxOjBYdeU7

If Joe Biden is unfit to campaign for President then he’s unfit to be in office. With Republicans, Independents and welcomed Democrats united now more than ever, we must work together to win big in Minnesota and throughout the country regardless who President Trump’s opponent is.

It doesn’t matter who the Democrats put at the top of the ticket, @realDonaldTrump WILL win in November.
Why? Because Americans know it’s the Democrats’ failed policies that have wreaked havoc on their everyday lives, and they’ve had enough.

President Biden is an American hero and patriot whose legacy will rank among the most important in our history.
I entered the primary in the spirit of Paul Revere, not George Washington, and cannot wait to get to work for the new Democratic ticket, defeat Donald Trump, and win…
