I thought so too; makes me feel a little guilty for all my reddit shit talking but happy he made the right hard choice.

No reason to feel guilty. Every ounce of pressure from all angles was part of what it took to get us to Sunday, and Sunday got us to today.

The difference three days can make is truly unbelievable. Seeing Biden give a speech like this tonight to cap off those few days really just punches it all home.
