President Joe Biden is set to deliver a prime-time farewell address to the nation on Wednesday, marking the conclusion of his extensive five-decade political career. The speech, scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern from the Oval Office, will serve as a reflection on his presidency and a broader legacy. While the White House has not disclosed the specifics, Biden is expected to emphasize his efforts to stabilize domestic politics, strengthen America’s global leadership, guide the nation through a pandemic, and make historic investments in infrastructure and clean energy.

This address comes at a time when Biden is departing office with a low approval rating and handing over leadership to Donald J. Trump, a figure he has criticized as unfit for office. Biden’s decision to step down was influenced by pressure from within his party, particularly concerns about his age and capacity to serve another term. Despite his reluctant departure, he has remained steadfast in his belief that he could have won re-election and aims to continue contributing to his party’s future.
