（华盛顿22日综合电）美国总统拜登抛出退选震撼弹，消息一出各家媒体争相报导，但这也让自由派人士几乎陷入崩溃，媒体工作者情绪激动，就连曾当过前总统奥巴马助理的美国有线新闻网络（CNN）主播琼斯（Van Jones）也热泪盈眶。
琼斯在谈到拜登退选并表态支持贺锦丽一事时，情绪激动、热泪盈眶，MSNBC当家主播玛多（Rachel Maddow）则是认为拜登的决定其实并非自身真正想要的结果，这全是为了国家利益，是为了给国家一个机会，不让特朗普重掌白宫。
不只如此，身兼拜登竞选团队成员的特拉华州参议员库恩斯（Chris Coons）也忍不住哭了出来，他在CBS新闻节目当场说“拜登做出艰难决定”，并看向远方深呼吸，试着平抚激动情绪。
这些画面曝光之后在网络上引发讨论，有网民提到，“拜登为了国家做出无私奉献，然后琼斯居然在CNN现场哭了”、“琼斯哭出来真的有够可悲，成熟点吧”。至于针对库恩斯哭泣，有网民说，“库恩斯刚丢了工作，他当然会哭”。
