President Joe Biden has announced he will address the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening, marking his first public speech since dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Biden's decision to step down followed intense pressure from Democratic Party leaders, concerns over his mental acuity, and a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. He has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor, who has already garnered significant support and funding for her campaign. Former President Donald Trump and other critics have questioned Biden’s fitness for office and the legitimacy of Harris as a candidate. Biden pledges to fulfill his term and focus on key issues, including the Israel-Hamas conflict, while actively supporting Harris's campaign. The political landscape remains unsettled as the Democratic Party navigates this transition.
