Joe Biden speaks for first time since quitting presidential race

Joe Biden said his achievements “merited” a second term in office as he addressed the nation for the first time since stepping back from the presidential race.

The US president, 81, suggested his “leadership in the world” and “vision for America’s future” had given Americans reason to elect him again, but said he would “pass the torch” to a new generation to keep his party united.

In a 10-minute address from the Oval Office, Mr Biden cited Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and Franklin Delano Roosevelt as he sought to cement his legacy after almost four years in office.

He stepped down on Sunday from his home in Delaware, where he was self-isolating with coronavirus. He has endorsed Kamala Harris, his vice-president, for the Democratic nomination ahead of this year’s presidential election.

The more i watch this.
The more i know it's fake.
Look at his lips!
His hands and arms are not moving human like,

[friendsofjimmys]

Term in jail that's were he should be. He's a traitor to America.

[bosshawg]

Your only achievement in the last fifty years was to give away Bagram Airbase.

[alansmith]

The only term he deserves is in prison

[WKGWOMANINTN]

He has no idea of the damage he has done to the United States - and perceives he is a grand statesman. Pathetic.

[maddworld]

His "achievements" to decimate the Middle Class and then thrattin our safety by opening us up to anyone walking in

[Mattias.hallin]

Was it the inflation or maybe the border crisis he ment?

[Christoph]

Lol the alarm going off in the background

[detroit]

The problem is that his "achievements" are all bad.

[gabepastel]

I wonder how many cuts it took for this two minutes of speech

[alfieakaronaldog]

A joke that just gets funnier lol.
Trump will be president if he can dodge more bullets and vote rigging.

[hfwwf]

Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt would be a totally and utterly appalled by this man.

In issuing his debate challenge to Donald Trump, then mocking Trump as if Trump was afraid to do so, Biden taunted Trump by saying, "C'mon, Donald. Make my day!" If Biden was looking to get publicly spanked and forced out of the campaign by his own party, then Trump rose to meet the challenge and fulfilled Biden's objective. How does it feel to have Trump "make your day, " Joe?

[yorikosagisawa]

The federal government and state system and Congress are a dead giveaway

[mikepolak]

Please go retire...!!! We will be better off.

[DOWNUNDER.]

Where is the " I DONT CARE BUTTON"

[herrdirektor]

He does deserve a second term. In county jail that is.

[oldmukker]

Sorry, but any earlier presumed success, should not be an assumed guarantee of future entitlement. Mr. Biden is clearly not in the best of health and should have moved on a year ago.

It's been the honor of my life to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the chinese communist party and to do their bidding at every turn. There, fixed it for him . . .
