00:00I felt relieved I think Mr. Biden has done a good job with the state of the
00:06country and I also think it was time for him to hand it over to someone who is
00:12going to be a little more energetic in the campaign. I think it took him a long
00:17time to step down but I think the more important issue is that he should never
00:22have been put up to be the candidate the second time around. I was hoping for that
00:28announcement. I'm Democrat I always vote Democrat but I wasn't I was gonna I'm
00:34probably gonna do independent this year this election because I didn't think he
00:37was fit to be still me in office. Not super surprised but now kind of
00:43pivoting to you know what happens next who's hopefully you know they can rally
00:49around a candidate. I am a little scared a little worried. One thing I hope is
00:56that the Democrats can have some kind of like democratic process to pick the
00:59nominee. I don't want them to just like choose Kamala Harris although but if
01:07they had a democratic process and they chose Kamala Harris I would be excited
01:11about that. It makes me nervous in other ways because I don't know that this
01:15country is ready to elect a black woman but I think that we have to get ready
01:23quick.
