It's Monday, July 22nd, and we've got a whole new presidential race. We start here.

In a historic concession, President Joe Biden drops his re-election bid.

This is a decision that Joe Biden absolutely did not want to make.

Today we're going to talk about how Biden finally arrived at the decision to be a one-term president, he made a choice that was in the best

interest of the American people and how his endorsement has quickly set a new

chain of events into motion. She has to secure the nomination. She has to get

herself on ballots. So how will Americans grapple

with an unprecedented change that could shape this country? From ABC News, this is a special edition of Start Here.

I'm Brad Milky.

I know we keep tossing around the term unprecedented in recent weeks, but this is truly

one of the wildest three weeks spans we have ever seen in American presidential politics,

and it started with what will now perhaps go down as

the most consequential presidential debate in our nation's history.

Look if we finally beat Medicare.

Thank you President Biden, President Trump.

From the point of view of President Biden's campaign team, this June CNN debate was supposed

to highlight this president's strengths against an erratic

opponent but when Biden faltered under these bright lights it set off a

political tsunami that seemed to pick up speed every minute.

The calls for the 81-year-old the step of seemed to pick up speed every minute.

The calls for the 81 year old to step aside ahead of the party convention in August.

I'm staying in the race.
