Watch live: Biden gives remarks on decision to step aside, endorse Harris for 2024

President Biden will deliver an address from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening. The speech will be his first public statement since his announcement Sunday that he will not seek reelection, and is endorsing Vice President Harris as the nominee at the top of the 2024 Democratic Party ticket.

The president returned to Washington Tuesday after spending several days recuperating from a COVID-19 infection at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Del.

Democratic leaders have quickly consolidated their support for Harris. The vice president now has the backing of enough delegates to secure the vote at the party’s convention in August.

Republicans have adjusted their strategy and messaging this week, with calls for Biden to resign from office immediately. The White House has emphatically stated that Biden plans to serve until the end of his term.

The address is scheduled for 8 p.m. EDT.

American politics has become a dangerous joke. This is pathetic.

Democracy will not get in the way of saving democracy. God bless America.

He’s a puppet and the puppet master said show is over. Enter new puppet Kamala

I just wanna know who is actually running our country right now, cause it ain’t this guy.

[RyanSumner-rjrt]

We all know he got forced out of position Bec he was going to lose

[papasmurfron]

But we are paying for all the things you say you have achieved!
You keep saying I, I, I, I !!!
Is it supposed to be We!
Each and every one of us!

This isn’t life this has to be pre-recorded

Does anyone find it odd that Joe Biden has NEVER started an address on time but this one was cued up to begin on the dot, and ended just as abruptly.

Another question, has he never worn a wedding ring before? There wasn't even a ring mark. I never noticed before. But his hands looked different and I couldn't help noticing.

Go to full screen, Set the pic quality to highest, and zoom in on the eyes. Holy ballzz! Lol

I'm an independent. It is indecent to keep attacking this man. Let him bow out with dignity and let a proper democracy - driven instrument in the form of free, fair and non-corrupted elections take place. Whoever can give us closed borders, a robust economy, safety for us and our children, manufacturing in our country instead of imports from others, non - ideological common sense approaches to efficient energy, freedom to worship and a genuine contribution to world peace, will have my vote.

Why does this look like a deep fake video to me. Something is off

[yvonnehansen]

Tried to watch. Just can't. Just the sound of his voice..the whispers🤮 the lies🤮 the gaslighting 🤮

[kozmicflush]

All script. This man doesn't have a heart. Sold out his country and created wars in others 👎🏼

[cubewizard]

He’s really mad about this, but they told him the show’s over.

[Annagramma-ux]

American politics is not about Regency. American politics is about how America will continue to be the world’s most respected democracy in the world

[TheNeverfollow]

So he's saying he can't save the country ?? So he's been lying all along lolololol

[prancealbert]

Anyone notice he isnt wearing his wedding ring?

[idawheat]

I'd like the address of the world that he lives in where everything is coming up sunshine and roses. That sure isn't the world the rest of us live in

[stephanieyoungman]

This is a fake or altered! Watch the background around his left cheek (remember people thats your right)and left side of his ear and left forehead, and you can tell it is digitally altered.

[ericheick]

He is so quiet now, you can hear all the background noise and every little swallow and lip smack. Its pathetic
