In an 11-minute Oval Office address, President Joe Biden, 81, failed to address concerns about his health or the reasons behind his sudden withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. He stated that he didn't want 'ambition' to interfere with his goal of 'saving' democracy, implicitly referencing former President Donald Trump. The speech follows a poor debate performance that raised doubts about his re-election viability, with media reports suggesting Biden's health has been declining for months. Actor George Clooney and Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton have publicly expressed concerns about Biden's cognitive state, further fueling speculation. Despite the scrutiny, Biden opted against additional medical testing during a post-debate interview, and the White House later clarified the context of a neurologist's earlier visit. Overall, the address left many questions unanswered as Biden sought to reinforce his leadership narrative amidst intensifying political challenges.
