    She’s experienced, she’s tough, she’s capable. She’s been an incredible partner to me and a leader for our country. Now the choice is up to you, the American people,” said Biden

    Washington, D.C. – President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Wednesday from the Oval Office, marking his first public remarks since announcing his decision to forgo his bid for reelection. In a measured and reflective speech, Biden emphasized his commitment to democracy and the need for new leadership, setting a tone of solemnity in contrast to the contentious campaign atmosphere.

    Biden, the oldest president in U.S. history at 81, cited his belief in the importance of passing the torch to a new generation as the primary reason for his withdrawal from the race. “I decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. That is the best way to unite our nation,” Biden stated, expressing his deep love for the country and his desire to see it thrive under new leadership.

    The President’s decision followed a poor performance in a June 27 debate with his Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, and increasing calls from within his party to step aside. Despite these challenges, Biden highlighted his accomplishments during his first term, including the appointment of the first Black woman to the Supreme Court and steering the nation through a debilitating pandemic.

    Biden’s exit from the race has paved the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to take the helm as the Democratic nominee. Harris, 59, is the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president and now stands as a historic candidate for the presidency. Her campaign quickly gained momentum, raising $126 million since Sunday, with a significant portion of donations coming from first-time contributors.

    In his speech, Biden praised Harris as a capable and tough leader who would make an effective president. “She’s experienced, she’s tough, she’s capable. She’s been an incredible partner to me and a leader for our country. Now the choice is up to you, the American people,” Biden said.

    Shortly before Biden’s address, Donald Trump, 78, launched a scathing attack on Harris during his first rally since she replaced Biden as the Democratic candidate. Trump labeled Harris a “radical left lunatic” and criticized her background as a prosecutor. This rhetoric signals a fiercely combative campaign ahead of the November 5 election.

    Harris, undeterred, responded robustly in her own campaign appearances. Highlighting Trump’s legal troubles, including felony convictions and fraud judgments, she questioned the kind of country voters wanted to live in: one of “freedom, compassion, and rule of law” or one of “chaos, fear, and hate.“

    The Democratic National Committee’s rules committee has moved swiftly to formalize Harris’s nomination, planning to do so by August 1, ahead of the party’s convention in Chicago later in the month. Harris is expected to announce her running mate by August 7.

    I have been privileged to serve this nation for over 50 years.

    I have given my heart and my soul, like so many others have.

    And I have been blessed a million times in return with the love and support of the American people.

    I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you.

    — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 25, 2024

    Biden concluded his speech with a heartfelt reflection on his long career in public service and his gratitude to the American people. “It’s been the privilege of my life to serve this nation for over 50 years,” he said, underscoring his belief that stepping aside was the best way to ensure the country’s democratic future.

    As the nation prepares for a high-stakes election, President Biden’s decision marks a significant shift in the political landscape, promising an intense and possibly transformative campaign season.
