Joe Biden's Twitter thread on Eric Swalwell withdrawing from the race

Three-tweet thread starting here, full text below:

Link to tweet

.@EricSwalwell ran a passionate campaign, and I commend him for bringing more attention to the urgent need for gun safety reform in America.

His leadership on the House Intelligence Committee and his influential voice pushing the Trump Administration to secure our elections have helped make clear the stakes for our country in next year's election.

The Democratic Party is lucky to have leaders like Eric, and I look forward to continuing to work with him on the pressing issues facing Americans.

Whether he's a person's first choice in the primary or not, no denying he's a decent sort. Would be happy to vote for him in a general.

Especially after Swalwell’s ageist comments. To me ageism is right up there with racism.
