K-netizens react to Joe Biden dropping out of the US presidential race

Korean netizens are reacting to President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.

On July 21, President Biden announced his withdrawal from the race, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement for the Democratic nomination. Minutes after the news broke, Korean netizens began discussing the political implications and potential international repercussions.

Many expressed shock, with some commenting that "it was foreseeable," while others stated they "still can't believe it actually happened."

Following recent updates on the presidential race, K-netizens were surprised by how "the Democrats were eventually able to convince him."

While the majority did not question whether this was the right choice, many wondered if there might be another candidate more suitable for the role.

On the online forum, South Koreans largely supported the Democratic party's efforts to find the right candidate. While some predicted that "Trump will win again at this point," others hoped that another fitting candidate would emerge to challenge former President Donald Trump.

Comments include:

"Hul..."

"Oh..."

"Hul... I can't believe this actually happened though."

"Recent events with the shooting have really done a lot of work here."

"Just find someone right... please..."

"Is there really NOBODY out there??"

"Thank god..."

"Anybody but Trump... please."

"Trump's gonna win again."

"I thought Biden said he wasn't gonna back down?"

"Is Kamala Harris replacing him? Omg."

"He should have done this much sooner."

"Finally!!"

"He was too senior..."

"I can't believe how barren the US is with good candidates for the Democrats."

"There are no good candidates in the U.S...."

"Just please bring someone sane."

"He should have done this sooner."
