Biden To Use Oval Office Address To Explain His Decision To Quit 2024 Race
6 weeks ago
Insisting that “the defense of democracy is more important than any title,” President Joe Biden will explain in an Oval Office address his decision to drop his bid for reelection and to throw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. The address will offer the public their first chance to hear directly from Biden his rationale for dropping out of the 2024 after weeks of insisting he believed himself to be the best candidate to take on former President Donald Trump, whom he has called an existential threat to the nation’s democracy. It will also give Biden a chance to try to shape how history views his one and only term in office.
