In a heartfelt statement from the White House's Rose Garden on Wednesday, Vice President Biden finally silenced the will-he-won't-he game.
But before Biden fans sob into their pints of Ben & Jerry's, consider self-medicating with Twitter's best reactions to Biden's decision not to run for office in 2016.
