I think I must have been expecting Biden to bow out without realizing that I was expecting it. I've been kind of hiding from the news this past week and avoiding most of the threads about it on DU because it was all just too depressing. When the news came out today, my heart dropped at first, but once the initial shock wore off, I started to feel better and better.
One thing that has helped me is watching the special coverage on MSNBC and hearing about how much support there is for her to be nominated in Joe's place. I think my second worst fear (after Biden dropping out) was the possibility of the nomination going to someone other than Kamala, and it's looking more and more likely that she WILL be the nominee. I'm actually getting excited about supporting her.
I love Joe as much as anyone, but he's made his decision and it's time to forge ahead now and give our full support to the woman he has endorsed!
