Biden Addresses the Nation


President Joe Biden delivered an Oval Office address yesterday, his first speech since announcing he would end his 2024 presidential reelection bid.


Biden characterized his decision Sunday to exit the race as an effort to put aside ambition and pass the torch. He also touted his legacy and reiterated his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. The address comes amid questions about the president's mental fitness to serve. Biden says he plans to prioritize his job as president for the next six months. Watch the speech here.


The address comes as Harris has raised $126M in three days, with over 60% of contributions coming from new donors. Separately, the Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission this week challenging Harris' access to donations made to the Biden campaign, arguing the transfer of $91.5M in funds violates campaign finance limits.
