Van Jones could barely hold back the tears afterwards Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential campaign… choking on emotion live on CNN.
The political commentator went on air following JB’s surprise announcement on Sunday morning to discuss the decision and the president’s legacy… and check out the clip because Van’s personal connection to Biden is on full display.
Jones compares Democrats telling Biden to drop out to the idea of taking away the keys from grandparents when they get older… saying it’s a constant fight that then leads to an emotional breakdown.
Van’s emotional breakdown seemed to be coming as he spoke … admitting that it hasn’t been easy to comment on Biden in recent weeks — calling this an especially human and difficult time for Joe and his family.
Jones repeats several times how much he loves Joe – remember, Van served in the Obama administration — and he tells young people that Biden is giving them a lesson in patriotism by dropping out of school.

Van wasn’t the only liberal on TV who couldn’t contain his emotion… Delaware Senator Chris Coons He also got emotional on air, asking for a moment to compose himself.
From Biden announcement It was a shock to many — including your own helpers allegedly — and, this played out along party lines with Democrats thanking the president for his service and Republicans demanding that he resign of work.
Many liberals are already supporting the vice president Kamala Harris …although some prominent members of the party — like Barack Obama — are waiting to see what happens.
But it seems Van is choosing to focus on the man today, rather than the President today… and clearly, it’s making him emotional.
