In a heartfelt and emotional speech, US President Joe Biden expressed his deep gratitude for the opportunity to serve as the leader of his country. However, he made it clear that the protection of democracy is far more important than any title he holds.
"As much as I revere this office, my love for my country surpasses it," Biden declared from the Oval Office, in his first public address since dropping out of the presidential race. He went on to explain that the recent weeks have shown him the critical need to unite his party in the face of challenges to democracy.
He firmly stated his belief in his own leadership and vision for America's future, but acknowledged that nothing can stand in the way of preserving the foundation of democracy. "This includes my own personal ambitions," he admitted. With this in mind, Biden announced his decision to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders, in order to ensure the continued prosperity and security of the nation.
Without mentioning his Republican rival, Donald Trump, Biden acknowledged that the US is at a crucial point in its history. He described it as a moment where the decisions made will shape the fate of the nation and the world for decades to come. "We must choose between moving forward or backward, between hope and hate, between unity and division," he urged.
In a call for unity, Biden appealed to Americans to see those they disagree with politically not as enemies, but as fellow citizens. He emphasized the need for new and fresh voices in politics, and even acknowledged the concerns about his age by calling for younger voices to step up.
Despite the challenges, Biden expressed his determination to continue working as president for the next six months. He outlined his priorities, including lowering the cost of living, defending civil rights, and addressing hate and extremism in all forms. He also promised to keep fighting to end cancer and even hinted at potential reform for the US Supreme Court.
Reflecting on his term, Biden listed a number of achievements, such as ending US involvement in wars around the world, creating jobs, and strengthening the economy. He also spoke about the power of America as an idea, one that is greater than any military force or dictator.
Biden acknowledged that the US has not always lived up to its ideals of equality and liberty, but he firmly believed that the American people will never give up on them. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve and praised his likely successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, as an experienced and capable leader.
As the American people prepare to choose the future course of their country, Biden reminded them that the power lies in their hands. He urged them to watch and support the upcoming Olympic Games, which will be broadcast live and free on Channel 9 and 9Now, as a testament to the greatness and strength of the nation. In closing, he reminded the people that in America, it is the citizens who hold the power and shape the story of their country. "The power is in your hands," he concluded.
