Barack Obama Pens Heartfelt Tribute To Joe Biden After He Drops Out Of Presidential Race

by

Barack Obama shared a statement of support for Joe Biden on Sunday after he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. In doing so, he described the 81-year-old as “one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me.” When Biden made his announcement, he endorsed his Vice President, Kamala Harris, to run in his stead. Obama, on the other hand, stopped short of doing so.

“I also know Joe has never backed down from a fight,” Obama wrote. “For him to look at the political landscape and decide that he should pass the torch to a new nominee is surely one of the toughest in his life. But I know he wouldn’t make this decision unless he believed it was right for America. It’s a testament to Joe Biden’s love of country  —  and a historic example of a genuine public servant once again putting the interests of the American people ahead of his own that future generations of leaders will do well to follow.”

Hip-hop fans on social media have been comparing Joe Biden to J. Cole after the President dropped out of the 2024 election race.

On X (formerly Twitter), several users shared an edited photo of Biden and Cole’s face next to one another. One fan wrote: “Biden watched what backing out of a battle did for J. Cole and said y’all go have fun.” Another remarked: “I hate the internet, Joe Biden folded, now J Cole trending.”

Donald Trump Calls Out “Crooked Joe Biden” After He Drops Out Of The Presidential Race

by

Donald Trump has reacted to Joe Biden’s shocking decision to drop out of the 2024 Presidential Election. Addressing the situation on Truth Social, the former President labeled Biden unfit to serve and promised to “remedy the damage he has done very quickly” if he wins. Biden declined the nomination for the Democratic party in a statement on Sunday afternoon.

“Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was!” Trump wrote. “He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t – And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Joe Biden Backs Kamala Harris After Dropping Out Of Presidential Race

Earlier today, Joe Biden took to X to announce that he’s dropping out of the presidential race. He shared a lengthy statement with the American people, going over some of his past achievements and thanking them for their support. Biden also announced that he’ll be addressing the Nation later this week to provide them with more details about his decision.

Of course, the first question on the minds of the American people was who would replace Biden on the Democratic ticket to go up against Trump. Shortly after his announcement, Biden showed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President,” he said. “And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.”

Joe Biden Offers His “Full Support And Endorsement” To Kamala Harris

The news comes shortly after The New York Times reported that the Biden-Harris campaign was quietly conducting a survey to gauge how Harris would perform against Trump. Andrew Bates, a White House spokesperson, denied this. “Unequivocally, this is not true,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “President Biden’s team is strongly behind him.” The announcement also arrives after NBC News spoke with three individuals “directly involved” involved in the campaign. Reportedly, they revealed that Biden’s debate performance made them question his ability to come out victorious in the upcoming election.

“He needs to drop out,” one said, “He will never recover from this.” Another added that “No one involved in the effort thinks he has a path.” What do you think of Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race today? What about him going on to endorse Kamala Harris? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Joe Biden Drops Out Of Presidential Race: “It Is In The Best Interest Of My Party”

by

In recent weeks, Joe Biden has been bombarded with demands for him to drop out of the presidential race. This is due in part to his performance during his debate with Donald Trump late last month. It left a lot to be desired and prompted questions of whether or not he was fit to serve as president for another term. It also sparked speculation about his health and mental fitness.

Now, he has taken to X to announce that he’s heard the Democratic party’s calls and decided to drop out of the race. In a lengthy heartfelt statement, he thanked the American people, looked back on some of the things he achieved as president, and more. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” he wrote. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

Joe Biden Thanks The American People

He went on, adding that he’ll “speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about [his] decision.” The announcement comes just days after the White House confirmed that Biden tested positive for COVID-19. At the time of writing, it’s unconfirmed if this had anything to do with his decision. It also remains unclear who will be replacing him on the Democratic ticket. Last week, however, The New York Times reported that his campaign was quietly conducting a survey to gauge how Vice President Kamala Harris would perform against Trump.

What do you think of Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race? Are you looking forward to hearing what he has to say later this week? Who do you think will replace him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Earlier this week, the White House confirmed that Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19, right before a scheduled appearance in Las Vegas. At the time, his physician said he was experiencing “mild symptoms,” and the president headed home to Delaware to self-isolate. Luckily, he’s reportedly on the mend, and his symptoms have shown some improvement.

As news of Biden’s infection made its rounds online, his official X account seized the opportunity to diss Elon Musk with a couple of clever Tweets. “I’m sick,” the first one read simply, followed by “of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election.” This left a lot of fellow social media users amused and even sparked a witty response from Lil Wayne.

Lil Wayne Quotes “A Milli” In Response To Joe Biden Tweet

“Muthaf*cka, I’m ill,” he replied, quoting his 2008 Tha Carter III track “A Milli.” Of course, this resulted in many more reactions from Weezy fans, who agree that they should have seen this coming. While Lil Wayne seems to have kept his response to the news of Biden testing positive for COVID-19 light, others took a different approach. Meek Mill, for example, hopped online to claim that he was freaked out by the diagnosis. “I wish I never learned about politics because now y’all scaring me,” he wrote.

He’s certainly not alone, as this election cycle has seen no shortage of wild moments. Just before Biden contracted COVID-19, a man tried to assassinate Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, leaving the former president with an ear injury. Biden and Trump’s first debate also resulted in a great deal of concern, particularly among Democratic voters, and many are now urging Biden to drop out of the race. What do you think of Lil Wayne’s witty response to Joe Biden’s Tweet? What about Biden testing positive for COVID-19?

Meek Mill Is Now Scared Of Politics Thanks To Joe Biden’s COVID-19 Diagnosis

by

The 2024 U.S. presidential election is an absolute firestorm right now, and a lot of folks’ casual exposure to it saw some huge shocks. Many people who usually don’t pay attention to politics suddenly had a presidential assassination attempt to contend with, and Trump’s Democratic opponent Joe Biden also threw a wrench into things. Well, he technically wasn’t the one to do so, as the White House recently announced that the 46th Commander in Chief tested positive for COVID-19 this week. Furthermore, this has led many people, including Meek Mill, to remark on how wild this election cycle has been, and what chaos remains for the country at the end of the tunnel.

“I wish I never learned about politics because now y’all scaring me,” Meek Mill tweeted in reaction to Biden’s COVID diagnosis. Of course, this is a pretty ironic and likely irrelevant statement for the future, as we’re sure that he will continue to comment on political matters moving forward. In addition, the Philly MC often comments on social and community issues that sometimes overlap with political fare, although one recent example certainly had nothing to do with electoral campaigns or social causes. He recently called for a “manhunt” for a viral Philadelphia man who allegedly ejaculated on a woman’s leg in public.

While Meek Mill ponders on this Biden and Trump showdown, one of his friends sought to patch up one of his own beefs: 50 Cent. “We just bumped into each other,” Fif affiliate Mike Knox said in a video with one of Meek’s colleagues. “We had a serious conversation about this situation with Meek and how I was out of pocket, how I was wrong, right? How I was f***ed up, how I was disrespectful. I wasn’t on man time, how I got caught up in the bulls**t with the Instagram and being disrespectful.

“We had something going on together where we always supposed to do something together and switch, and I got on some bulls**t,” Mike Knox continued. “Right, with the Meek Mill hate train, with the disrespect and with saying anything that wasn’t supposed to be said on a man’s time. And as a man, I apologize. I was wrong, it shouldn’t have happened. It’s not going to happen again, that’s not how we move, that’s not how we handle s**t. As a man, Meek, I apologize. As a man, [Meek’s friend], I apologize, and this s**t won’t happen no more.”

Joe Biden Tests Positive For COVID-19 Ahead Of Las Vegas Appearance

by

Today, Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of a scheduled appearance in Las Vegas, the White House recently confirmed. Reportedly, the 81-year-old is currently experiencing “mild symptoms” such as “general malaise.” He canceled his public appearance as a result of the infection and is now headed home to Delaware to self-isolate. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Biden will “carry out all of his duties fully during that time.”

His physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, claims he “presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms, to include rhinorrhea (runny nose) and non-productive cough, with general malaise.” AP reports that he was prescribed Paxlovid, an antiviral drug, and has taken his first dose. Hopefully, Biden will be able to recover quickly. Luckily, he appears to be in good spirits despite being under the weather. He told reporters on Air Force One that he was feeling “good” earlier today, indicating that his illness hasn’t taken too much of a toll on him.

Joe Biden Makes Light Of COVID-19 Diagnosis

Of course, this latest development comes amid serious questions about his ability to hold the country down for another term, particularly following his performance last month during his first debate with Donald Trump. It also comes shortly after the assassination attempt on Trump that took place at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend. Reportedly, Biden is vaccinated and received his recommended annual booster dose, which is proven to limit serious illness and death from COVID-19.

As the news makes its rounds online, Biden’s official X account seemingly made light of it with a witty set of Tweets. “I’m sick,” the first Tweet reads, “of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election.” This was followed by a link to donate to his campaign.

Biden Sits with BET to Address His Record with Black Americans

After delivering remarks at the NAACP’s National Convention, President Joe Biden sat down for a comprehensive interview with BET journalist Ed Gordon.

The discussion highlighted Biden’s achievements for Black Americans and the critical issues in the upcoming election. A significant portion of the conversation focused on the recent overturning of abortion rights, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to protecting reproductive freedoms. Biden underscored the importance of voter turnout and civic engagement in these challenges, calling on the community to unite in safeguarding their rights and shaping the nation’s future.

“The Supreme Court did it — Trump appointed [justices to the] Supreme Court with the expressed purpose of doing it — so that’s the way it works… They’re probably going to be two more appointments to the Court… Just imagine a Court if he has two more appointments on that — what that means forever.”
