I'm Carol Rosenberg from the New York Times. Right now, I'm sitting alone in the press room at the US Navy base at Guantanamo Bay. I've probably spent around 2,000 nights at this Navy base. I've been coming here since four months after the 9/11 attacks, I watched the first prisoners arrive in those orange jumpsuits from far away Afghanistan. Some of these prisoners, they still don't have a trial date. It's hard to get here. It's hard to get news from the prison. Often, I'm the only reporter here. If you build a military court it happened so late, it still means the result of the election is going to play into how he's remembered in the history books.If Kamala Harris loses, a lot of people will still say that was Biden's fault for waiting so long. If she wins, he will be validated for having made this decision that he's made now to step aside, and he will be remembered more kindly. So this is a problem for presidents, right? History is always waiting, and they're always focused on what it will say, and you can't I'd rewrite it once it's happened.Well, Peter, thank you very much. We appreciate it.Oh, thank you for having me.On Sunday, my colleagues asked Democratic voters to reflect on Biden's decision, his endorse announcement of Harris, and what it will mean for the final weeks of the presidential race. So what was your reaction to the news about President Biden today?I was relieved. He's been a great President, but it was time for new leadership in the party.I think he did the most patriotic thing I've seen a President do.He sacrificed his political future for the good of the I mean, I'm a little choked up. I cried because I love Joe Biden. Yeah. I absolutely love Joe Biden.No, I don't.Still can't talk about Joe Biden without feeling like I'm going to cry.And I am really proud.After the debate, It was scary. I don't think I want that guy in the office, and we need somebody stronger.I think Kamala is going to run, and I think that... I hope she's got to go at it.I don't think Kamala has been around long enough. It's really sad and scary to say, but I don't think the middle of the country is going to vote for a female and a one who is a minority. Honestly, I don't really think that Harris will do well nationwide. You're saying that as a Black woman as well.As a Black woman, yeah, I am.America is just not ready for a woman president, especially not a Black woman president.We're going to see more people perk up and say, All right, we have another good, strong woman. Was a prosecutor shooter, and she's going to run against a criminal. This is going to make a great story.I just hope now that people will rally behind Kamala and not have a big fight on the floor for the convention coming up. So we need to get it settled and get to the business of beating Trump.We'll be right back. Here's what else you need to know today. The director of the Secret Service is now facing bipartisan calls to resign after the agency acknowledged that it repeatedly denied requests for additional resources sought by Donald Trump's security detail.

He sacrificed his political future for the good of the I mean, I'm a little choked up. I cried because I love Joe Biden. Yeah. I absolutely love Joe Biden.

No, I don't.

Still can't talk about Joe Biden without feeling like I'm going to cry.
