President Joe Biden is set to address the nation on Wednesday night to explain his decision to drop out of the 2024 race. According to a senior official who has seen an earlier draft of his remarks, Biden is not expected to mention former President Donald Trump by name during his speech.
The official described the remarks as 'high level,' emphasizing the significance of the moment for both the president and the nation. While specific details of the speech have not been fully disclosed, excerpts that have been made public suggest that Biden will allude to the perceived threat posed by his predecessor.
One excerpt from the speech reads, 'The great thing about America is here, kings and dictators do not rule. The people do. History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The idea of America – lies in your hands.' This statement underscores Biden's belief in the power of the American people to shape the country's future.
Additionally, the official confirmed that Biden will mention Vice President Kamala Harris by name in his address. Biden is reportedly looking to pass the presidential torch to Harris, highlighting the importance of continuity and leadership within the administration.
The upcoming speech is expected to be a pivotal moment for Biden and the nation, as he navigates the decision to step back from the 2024 race. By addressing the American people directly, Biden aims to convey his vision for the country's future and the role of its citizens in shaping that future.
