President Biden gave a prime-time Oval Office address about his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential election and his plans for the remainder of his first term. Mr. Biden shocked the nation Sunday when he posted a letter on social media, saying he believes "it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term." He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination shortly after.

    And for people that look like me, that dream IS possible; however, the founders wrote that this story is possible and the right of all american citizens, even the ones that don't look like me." How did that sentence get left out of the final speech?

    An hour forty five minutes of coverage for a 10-minute speech. I didn't need that. Bloated. Spinning. The President said what needed to be said. Now shut up.

    Well he did tell everyone why he quit. He was trying to save the Democratic party from losing.. So he lied when he said he was trying to save Democracy. But what would you expect from a person who has never told the Truth.
