Full speech: President Joe Biden uses Oval Office address to explain his decision to quit 2024 race



Insisting that “the defense of democracy is more important than any title,” President Joe Biden on Wednesday explained in an Oval Office address his decision to drop his bid for reelection and to throw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. The address offered the public their first chance to hear directly from Biden his rationale for dropping out of the 2024 after weeks of insisting he believed himself to be the best candidate to take on former President Donald Trump, whom he has called an existential threat to the nation’s democracy. It also gave Biden a chance to try to shape how history views his one and only term in office.

  1. This MF has the gaul to look straight into the camera and say he speaks the truth..🤦🏼‍♂️.His whole “look at your neighbors as your fellow American and not your enemy “ in his speeches to “Unite” the country and the next time he talks the neighbors are “fascists,racist,neanderthals”.. Oh President Biden WE THE PEOPLE had to remind YOU that YOU ARE NOT A KING, and SUE you to Stop mandatory vaccines.. take the jab or lose your job remember that ? Probably not. You and your administration are TERRIBLE, and dropping out of the presidential race doesn’t make you a “great president “ you never were a great president,you have consistently lied and the you and your entire administration is complicit in the cover up of your cognitive decline, FY and your administration !

  2. Who's the guy in the CIA mask? The lump they hauled off in a scene from the Godfather on Sunday. The car he was hauled off in was from cut scenes in "Weekend at Bernies" with the lump of flesh pressed to sit up in the back completely wasted. They even had to lift his feet into the car. Is he in cement or is Jill watching over him? Who is this guy? Last week the megalomaniac was screaming at the Democrats on a Zoom call about the fact that he's the only human alive qualified to sit in the oval office and he was not leaving. He claimed that he was the sole person responsible for NATO. This is not him. We'll see the next time he skips up a flight of stairs and knows where to exit a stage or find a bathroom. You do not recover from Dementia overnight to become prepared to lead the world. This is one of those charades where the CIA claims truthfully,, "I can recreate YOU" CIA masked disguises today come right out of scenes only imagined in Mission Impossible. You can fool the FOOLS. So long as they're a Democrat. This is not Joe, so who is he and what are they up to? Nothing good. Nothing honest. Where do you stand, if America is invaded and this guy says "Stand down!"

  3. First Biden didn't step down he was forced down by the Democrats who had selected him in 2020.
    Second Biden was forced down because after the debate Democrats/media couldn't continue to lie to the American people about Biden cognitive decline. They knew they couldn't say anymore to the American people…. what you see isn't what happened what you hear isn't what Biden said or cheap fake. So Biden doesn't have more use for them.
    And last because you can't tell people that Biden's cognitive decline happened one day before the debate and not one did see it before. We saw and the media and Democrats called a theory conspiracy.

  6. How could this lying pos sit there with a straight face and tell us all that the border has less people coming through than when he first took office!??
    YOU LITERALLY FACILITATED THE MASS INVASION OF AMERICA! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A POPULATION OF PEOPLE THAT'S GREATER THAN MOST STATES!
    AND YOU'RE GIVING THEM ALL THOUSANDS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS EVERY SINGLE MONTH!

  7. It hasn't been about us in almost 4 years and longer. What a load of manure. It's about him securing more points for the Deep State. And when Trump said, "We have it all." That's why they hate him to the skin of their teeth. Because he is coming for them just like the actor in "Taken" went for his daughter. The ending may not be for everyone, but it's going to be good!
