Biden was doing badly because of policies, not age - Republicanpublished at 08:05 British Summer Time 22 July
So, what does Joe Biden's decision mean for Republicans? Pete Sessions is a veteran Republican congressman who has represented Texas for nearly 30 years.
"Vice-President Kamala Harris has been an active part of the Biden administration for four years," he tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"I don't think Joe Biden had low polling numbers because of his age - I think it was the policies.
"The question which [we are] asking the United States - am I better off than I was four years ago?"
Sessions adds that it's not certain - in his opinion - that Harris wins the nomination.
