President Biden is addressing the nation after a rocky end to his campaign — seeking to allay concerns about his ability to finish his term… while once again extolling his vice president and further explaining his decision not to seek reelection.
The veteran politician spoke to the American people in the Oval Office on Wednesday night, sitting behind a resolute desk, and explained that it was time to pass the torch to a new, younger generation.
Biden rattled off his list of accomplishments over the past 3.5 years and said he thought his performance warranted a shot at another 4 years…but he said he realized it was time for new voices to lead the Democratic Party.
POTUS also expanded on his previous support for the VP Kamala Harris …drawing a clear line between her and Donald Trump as the November elections approach.

Biden’s speech comes 3 days after he formally ended his candidacy for re-election after the test positive for COVID-19 while on the campaign trail in Las Vegas.
As we reported… there have already been calls for Biden to drop out of the race before his positive COVID test — especially after his disappointing presidential debate it is a uninspiring interview with Jorge Stephanopoulos.

Harris happily accepted the endorsement and launched her new presidential campaign shortly after Biden’s announcement… and raised $81 million in the first 24 hours.
The shake-up, however, has left the Republican Party in disarray… as several US representatives have called for Biden to resign.
Although, 46 doesn’t seem to be going anywhere… at least, that’s what he telegraphed with his West Wing speech. Here, Biden says he’s finishing out his term… no matter what.
