01:19.6
His decision comes nearly a month after his shaky debate performance.
01:23.7
It also came days after he tested positive for COVID-19.
01:33.2
Soon after Biden's announcement, he endorsed U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee.
01:41.1

01:50.8
Harris responded,
01:53.7
He also said she's honored to have Biden's endorsement, adding it is her intention to earn and win the nomination.
02:04.7
Harris could be the first Black woman and first Asian American to lead the ticket of a majority political party.
02:11.7
As we all know, he's a heinous, horrible, and cowardly man.
02:14.8
Several notable Democrats praising Biden's leadership as he withdraws from the 2024 race.
02:21.2

03:16.8
And I am personally reassured and enthusiastic that from now until January 20,
03:23.9
he will continue to be a strong President of the United States as he has been for the past three and a half years.
03:30.1
I am emotional about the President's decision because this President, Joe Biden, has been a transformational President.
03:42.1
He's been a great leader. He's a good man, a decent man, who has done so much for this nation, but so much to see us as people.
03:53.7
To value us. To fight for us.
04:02.2

As for Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, he warns of legal obstacles should Biden be replaced on the Democratic ticket.
04:43.1
14 million Democrats voted to make Joe Biden the nominee.
04:47.0
So it would be wrong and I think unlawful in accordance to some of these states' rules for a handful of people to go in a backroom.
04:53.7
And switch it out because they don't like the candidate any longer.
04:57.6
You know, Donald Trump may be headed for a landslide.
04:59.6
Now don't take my word for it, take the word of some of the top leading Democrats and elected Democrats around the country who are in panic mode.
05:07.1
That's the headlines that we've been reading for weeks and I think that's true.

05:44.6
A political analyst expects Marcos to address pressing issues in his speech, including Pogos and the country's maritime route with China.
05:53.7
I think the issue of regional security and what's happening in the West Philippines with criminality, how will it be reduced, what are the strategies that we can do to bring the OSWs back home.

Remember, this is one of the more important promises of the president during the campaign.

06:52.9
And I will also condemn the P35 bill that was given to the workers because it is a big insult.
06:52.9
We should really remember that the family living wage is a small amount of time.
06:59.0
We will not be arrested. In fact, the law mentioned by our QCPD with regards to effigies, when I studied the law, it refers to at the distance, it is forbidden to burn effigies, but beyond 100 meters, the law that is forbidden is not mentioned.
07:13.6
