\"\"TYLER \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Reactions are pouring in from across the country after President Joe Biden announced that he will no longer be seeking reelection to a second term on Sunday. Biden\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bombshell announcement comes after weeks of speculation about his ability to win the election started up in the wake of this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first presidential debate back on June 27. Our news partner KETK has put together list of reactions from East Texas representatives and other current and former officials. <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t change a thing. Whoever comes next for the Democrats will embrace the same failed Biden policies,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said U.S. House Rep for Tyler, Nathaniel Moran. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s keep pressing the right messages\u00e2\u20ac\u201d(1) secure our border (2) reduce spending, debt, and regulations (3) free up our energy sector (4) show strength in the world.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Blue privilege. Democrat elites sent ordinary Democrat voters to the kids\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 table so that a handful of donors and insiders can decide who they want to lead the party,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Texas State House Representative Matt Schaefer of Tyler.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153If President Biden is unfit to run, he is unfit to lead. He must step down immediately,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said U.S Congressman for Mineola, Athens and Terrell, Lance Gooden said.
\nBiden endorses Harris as Democratic nominee after ending his candidacy<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Democrats saying they were surprised at Biden\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcs awful debate performance is as believable as the Israelites saying we were just hanging around and this golden calf jumped out,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Smith County Republican Party chairman David Stein said.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153If Dems think trading Biden for his failed Border Czar is going to change anything, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re dreaming. Under her \u00e2\u20ac\u0153leadership\u00e2\u20ac\u009d criminals and terrorists stream across our wide-open border & fentanyl continues to kill thousands of innocent Americans. If she can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fix the border, how is she going to run the country? Kamala Harris is even more radical, more extreme and less competent than Joe Biden. And if Pres. Biden is not competent to run for reelection, he should step down from the presidency,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said U.S. Senator for Texas, John Cornyn.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It looks more and more like that very early debate was a set up to force Biden to step aside. Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s announcement may not have happened without that disastrous debate,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Texas Governor Greg Abbott.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve \u00e2\u20ac\u201c And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t capable of being President, and he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t \u00e2\u20ac\u201c And now, look what he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n Former President Donald Trump<\/p>\n
