President Biden praised by Southern California Democrats after dropping re-election bid

Praise for President Joe Biden from Southern California Democrats rolled in Sunday morning after the president said he would step aside from his re-election bid.

“Joe Biden has accomplished more as president than most presidents in recent memory,” said Rep. Lou Correa, an Orange County Democrat who had defended the president against earlier calls to drop out of the race. “I remain a Biden fan and will always support you.”

The president has for weeks faced growing calls to withdraw from the presidential campaign.
