President Biden is set to deliver his farewell address to the nation on Wednesday evening as he concludes his four-year term in the White House. The address will take place at 8 p.m. ET from the Oval Office, following the publication of a farewell letter earlier in the day.
In his letter, Biden reflected on the challenges faced by the nation over the past four years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, economic crisis, and threats to democracy. Despite these challenges, he emphasized the resilience and unity of the American people, stating that the country emerged stronger and more prosperous.
Having spent over 50 years in public office, Biden made his mark in 1972 by winning a Senate race in Delaware at the age of 29. He later served as vice president under President Obama before winning the presidency in 2020.
In his farewell letter, Biden highlighted the enduring ideals of equality and freedom that define America, expressing confidence in the American people's commitment to these values.
During his final foreign policy speech at the State Department, Biden emphasized the country's strengthened position on the global stage compared to four years ago. He noted that America's alliances are stronger, while its adversaries are weaker.
As he prepares to hand over the presidency to President-elect Trump on January 20, Biden reaffirmed his dedication to a peaceful transfer of power and expressed optimism about the nation's future.
Biden's tenure as the 46th president was marked by his efforts to address pressing domestic and international challenges, with a focus on unity and progress for all Americans.
