Biden Delivers Farewell Address from Oval Office

In his farewell address, President Joe Biden, the oldest U.S. president, struggled with balance and speech, sitting on a pillow for support and mistakenly reading teleprompter cues aloud. He addressed various topics, including the dangers of a 'tech-industrial complex' and the need to combat 'dark money' in politics, but his remarks were criticized for lacking coherence and gravitas typically expected in such speeches. As he prepares to leave office, Biden's approval ratings have plummeted to historic lows, with a recent poll showing only 36% of Americans approving of his presidency. His final year was marked by significant political defeats for his party and concerns over his age and capabilities. Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump is poised to take office with improving approval ratings, having recently brokered a ceasefire in Gaza, a deal the Biden administration had been working on. Biden's tenure has been marred by claims of a weakened America, as he leaves behind a mixed legacy amidst rising discontent among voters.
