President Joe Biden’s speech on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention is anticipated to be a significant moment, although it is not expected to be a farewell speech. Sources close to the president have indicated that a formal farewell address to the American people will likely take place in January, marking the end of his one-term presidency.
This timing mirrors former President Barack Obama's delivery of a farewell address in January 2017 at the conclusion of his two terms. In that memorable speech, Obama praised Biden as 'the scrappy kid from Scranton who became Delaware’s favorite son' and highlighted him as 'the first decision I made as a nominee.' Obama expressed deep appreciation for Biden, referring to him as not only a great Vice President but also as a brother.
