Debra Elder, another Los Angeles resident, expressed sadness over Biden's decision, praising his strength as a president despite his age. Elder believes Biden is better suited for the country but sees potential in Harris defeating former President Donald Trump if she were to run.
Pittsburgh Perspectives
Turning to Pittsburgh, Tina Enck emphasized the importance of national security and suggested that Biden's decision to step aside may have been necessary for the country's well-being.
