‘100% the right move’: New Yorkers react to Biden dropping out of presidential race

While the billboard screens in Times Square on Sunday afternoon were surprisingly void of any mention of President Joe Biden’s decision to bow out of his reelection bid, New Yorkers themselves were not short of opinions.

A lone bar on the corner of 44th Street and Sixth Ave. showed flashes of the biggest news in the country: “Harris endorsed after Biden exit.” While the news is substantial, for many it was not surprising after weeks of speculation about whether the incumbent Biden could continue on through Election Day in his quest for a second term against Donald Trump.
