President Biden addresses the nation after ending reelection

President Biden has addressed the nation for the first time since he withdrew from the 2024 election.

After weeks of uncertainty Biden, 81, announced on Sunday that he would not seek re-election and endorsed Kamala Harris, his vice-president, to take his place as Democratic nominee. He delivered an 11-minute speech from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office from 8pm (1am UK time).

Before the address Donald Trump spoke at a rally in North Carolina, repeatedly attacking Harris as a radical leftwinger.

The media didn't cover anything up, it was as plain as the nose on your face, this gentleman was struggling in 2020, putting it nicely.

And people thought mean tweets were an embarrassment.

There is no conviction in his voice - he is clearly reading, or mumbling, from a teleprompter. Who wrote the script?

These robots are looking more realistic everyday!

It is very sad that this man has been allowed to hold this office for this long. The whole world can see his cognitive decline. Not unusual for a man of his age and stress level. Yet we have been subjected to the most ridiculous and belittling pagent of deceit and mis / disinformation. Even in this speech he is delivering a performance, albeit poorly scripted and executed. Heaven help the USA if KH or any other representative of such a deceitful, power mongering organisation (democrats) gets into office...

At least Jimmy Carter passed away knowing he wouldn't now go down as the worst President in history, Biden topped him by a mile on that!

You can see the teleprompter in the background from the reflection of the window

So sad that his mind is now failing him. As Americans, we should be totally embarrassed for allowing this man to continue in his position, all the while humiliating him, mocking him, ridiculing him. I'm not talking about politics - I'm talking from a HUMANE position. It's terrible what we have done to allow this to go on.

The man broke up with America on a tweet 😂 and cannot stop Kamala from her lies 😂 USA needs fixing

[manoo]

You can always tell when hes lying...his lips are moving...

[technonarg]

Zoom in on his eyes and you will see the pupils are elongated like a snake's eyes.

[dustinwoodham]

Why do all politicians have to lie?? Do they really think we are that dumb?

[algae]

Zoom in and his eyes and blinking is creepy or is just me?

[stanstevens]

Putting his country first, something Trump would never do.

[KenTaylor-jz]

My GOD the world needs trump REALLY bad.

[evilwev]

What is this fool on about.

Honesty for the rest of the world America is still the best comedy reality show.

Extraordiinary presidents! well there are many ways to interpret this wording. Extraordinary for performance or lack of IT! extraordinary for acting most strange! Extraordinary and most strange for the latest president is most definitely correct. One to whom you have to question why with his health issues is he there in the first place?

[juliemitchell]

Cannot believe the disrespect in some of these comments for a man who has worked tirelessly for the people and his country. He deserves more.

When he states "It's not about me, it is about you, we the people" I can viscerally feel in the insincerity... Forget AI.. tune into your heart/gut/mind... it will tell you all you need to know.
