President Biden is set to address the nation on Wednesday after announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election. The White House confirmed that Biden will speak to the American people from the Oval Office to explain the reasons behind his decision and outline his priorities for the remaining six months of his first term.
Following a period of absence from the public eye, President Biden is expected to make his first public appearance in six days on Tuesday as he returns to Washington, D.C. from his residence in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The president had been out of the public spotlight since reportedly testing positive for COVID-19 last week.
During a brief phone call to Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign headquarters on Monday, President Biden briefly discussed his unexpected choice to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Harris is now the presumptive Democratic nominee following Biden's decision.
The upcoming address is anticipated to provide clarity on President Biden's decision-making process and shed light on his future plans and policy priorities for the remainder of his term. This announcement comes amidst speculation and uncertainty surrounding the political landscape leading up to the 2024 election.
