Biden comes to terms with departure from 2024 race
It is President Joe Biden's first public appearance since he dropped out of the race, and the applause for him from the crowded auditorium in Austin, Texas, just keeps going. He put his hand on his heart in thanks, looked down and, for the briefest of moments, took it all in.
The ovation on July 28, 2024 was most certainly not for the stated topic of his speech but for what had come before — Biden's decision to step aside in the 2024 race and throw his support behind his vice president.
Not to say it's been easy for him. Ten days since ending his reelection campaign, Biden still is coming to terms with the political whiplash that he — and the country — have experienced.
