Joe Biden
How will the President explain his monumental decision?

President Joe Biden will address the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening on his decision to drop his 2024 Democratic re-election bid.

Biden posted on X that he would speak “on what lies ahead” and how he will “finish the job for the American people.” He will speak at 8 p.m. ET.

He declined to preview his message after he returned to Washington, telling reporters to “watch and listen.”

“Why don’t you wait and hear what I say?” he said.

The President departed Delaware shortly before 2 p.m. on Tuesday, after nearly a week of isolating at his Rehoboth Beach home after his second bout with COVID. Biden is now testing negative for the virus and his symptoms have resolved, according to a letter from his doctor, Kevin O’Connor, released Tuesday.

Holding a blue paper mask, he told reporters that “I am feeling well” but did not answer other questions, such as whether Vice President Kamala Harris can defeat Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Biden has not been seen publicly since July 17, but he called into a campaign meeting on Monday to address staff and express his support for Harris’ bid to replace him a day after announcing he would leave the race.

    President Biden put the best interest of the country above party and his personal political ambition. This is what public service is all about. This is one for the history books. Thank you, Mr. President.

      At least we can rejoice that the left wont be able to pull off another a$$anation attempt. You know the old saying about if you try it you better not miss. Well they missed.
      Hopefully this upcomimg address will be poor old Joe’s last task for his slave masters and they leave the old codger alone afterwards.
      LOOK OUT THERE ON THE HORISON:

      Its a Ginormously Huge Big Red Wave.
