President Biden set to deliver farewell speech to the nation
President Biden is gearing up to deliver his farewell address to the nation on Wednesday evening as he prepares to conclude his four-year term in the White House. The address is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET from the Oval Office, following the release of a heartfelt farewell letter to the country earlier in the day.
In his farewell letter, President Biden reflected on the challenges and triumphs of his time in office. He acknowledged the daunting circumstances he inherited, including the COVID-19 pandemic, economic crisis, and threats to democracy. However, he emphasized the resilience and unity of the American people in overcoming these obstacles, emerging stronger and more prosperous.
After more than five decades in public service, President Biden will officially depart the Oval Office on January 20, when President-elect Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president. Biden’s political career began in 1972 when he won a Senate race in Delaware at the age of 29, marking the start of a long and impactful tenure in national politics.
In his farewell letter, President Biden expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve the nation, highlighting his belief in the enduring values of equality, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He reaffirmed his faith in the American people and their commitment to upholding these core principles.
Throughout his career, President Biden has been a dedicated public servant, serving in the Senate for 36 years before becoming vice president under Barack Obama. He won the presidency in 2020, defeating former President Trump, but chose not to seek reelection in 2024 due to concerns about his mental acuity.
Despite his criticisms of Trump, President Biden has pledged to ensure a peaceful transfer of power and will attend Trump’s inauguration. He has also emphasized the importance of strong alliances and a robust foreign policy in his final days in office.
In a recent foreign policy-focused address at the State Department, President Biden highlighted the progress made during his term, asserting that the United States is in a stronger position on the world stage. He cited strengthened alliances and weakened adversaries as evidence of America’s global leadership.
As President Biden prepares to bid farewell to the nation, his address is expected to reflect on his legacy and the challenges ahead. His commitment to unity, resilience, and American values will likely be central themes in his final message to the American people.
