U.S. President Joe Biden delivered an emotional farewell address from the Oval Office on Wednesday, marking the end of his 2024 presidential campaign and a five-decade political career. 'I revere this office,' he said, 'but I love my country more.'
The 81-year-old leader announced his decision to 'pass the torch' after weeks of intense pressure from Democrats, triggered by a rocky June debate performance that raised concerns about his electability against Republican rival Donald Trump. Internal polls warning of a potential November loss ultimately sealed his exit.
'This isn’t about me—it’s about unity,' Biden emphasized, his words resonating with the gravitas of a political heavyweight bowing out. The move follows days of soul-searching, with Biden quipping earlier that only 'the Lord Almighty' could change his mind—until data and party pressure shifted the calculus.
His historic exit sets the stage for a dramatic election season reboot, as Democrats now scramble to rally behind a new candidate. Political analysts call it a 'make-or-break moment' for America’s future trajectory.
