Biden campaign co-chair Chris Coons (D-Del.) cried on air Sunday following Joe Biden’s announcement that he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.
“Joe Biden is grounded. He’s grounded in his faith, in his family, and in our state,” the Delaware senator told CBS News as he choked back tears.
“Excuse me. I’m sorry. This was a very difficult decision.”

Just days before, Coons made the rounds on cable television touting Biden as “the only Democrat who can beat Trump.”
“He is our candidate for November. And he has the best shot to beat him,” Coons had told CBS News.
