Biden will address nation from Oval Office on decision to exit 2024 race

President Biden will address the nation on Wednesday after his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential election.

Biden will speak to the American people about why he decided to exit the race and what he plans to focus on for the remaining six months of his first term. His address will be delivered from the Oval Office, the White House said.

The president is expected to be seen in public for the first time in six days on Tuesday as he returns to the nation's capital from his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Biden has not appeared publicly since reportedly testing positive for COVID-19 last week. His only public remarks on his stunning decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential election came Monday during a brief phone call into the campaign headquarters of Vice Presidential Kamala Harris, who is now the presumptive Democratic nominee.

According to the president's public schedule, Biden will depart from Delaware at 12:30 p.m. He will then fly from Dover Air Force Base to Joint Base Andrews to return to the White House at around 2:30 p.m. The president will receive his daily briefing at 3 p.m. There are no public events on his schedule.

In a letter released on X Sunday, Biden said he believes it is in the "best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term."

"I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision," he added, though he gave no details on the time, place or manner in which he would speak.

Last week, Biden began to self-isolate after reportedly testing positive for COVID-19. He was last seen publicly deplaning in Delaware on July 17.

In a letter updating the status of 81-year-old Biden's medical condition on Friday, the physician to the president, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, wrote that Biden "completed his sixth dose of PAXLOVID this morning."

Biden "is still experiencing a loose, non-productive cough and hoarseness, but his symptoms continue to improve steadily," O'Connor wrote in the letter released by the White House.

"His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature remain absolutely normal," the doctor said. "His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear."

The doctor said Biden has the KP .2.3 variant, which accounts for approximately 33.3% of new infections in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"The President continues to tolerate treatment well and will continue PAXLOVID as planned," the letter says. "He continues to perform all his presidential duties."

Biden will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday at the White House, according to a U.S. official. Netanyahu arrived in the U.S. a little more than 24 hours after Biden announced that he would no longer seek re-election.

On Wednesday, Netanyahu will give a speech in front of Congress, though Harris reportedly declined to preside over the address, according to the Washington Post. Before departing Israel for D.C., Netanyahu told reporters that his country would stand by the U.S. "regardless [of] who the American people choose as their next president."

"In this time of war and uncertainty, it’s important that Israel’s enemies know that America and Israel stand together," the leader said.

Netanyahu also requested a meeting with former President Trump this week, according to Politico. It is unclear if Trump agreed to the meeting.

Every time I hear an announcement of PedoJoe addressing the nation, I envision this happening before every event...

YooToobe short of Bidenista freaking out

Its hilarious.

My personal take on FJB is they will try to leave him in office performing what few duties he will as president, such as it is, so (,)La is "unencumbered" with the duties of the office. It free's her up to campaign full time... It's not like any of her VP "duties" take up any of her time, because she doesn't do anything anyway.

That's why I think they are really resisting the 25th.

The painted finger nails is not helping the dude's look.

With TyphoidJoe coming out of his burrow, after dark to avoid seeing his shadow, to address the nation from the Oval Office, does anyone know where I can lay a bet that it is as big a shit show as the debate and the Holt and Stephanlumpogous interviews…?

That is a perfect example of mental illness.

Dude not only had a childish tantrum, but felt compelled to record it and put it on the internet.

Dig further and I would bet he has/had a video lamenting that the sniper missed. . .

I can't believe he made it up all those steps.

It will be a pre-recorded message with a million edits and cuts. They ain't letting this demented old clown speak live anymore.

Cut it out

Am I the only one who doesn’t set up my cellphone before I sit in my car so I can capture my “real” emotions for all of posterity? How fucking narcissistic are these people?

Baby Huey with his painted nails having a “break down” to impress his friends, I weep for the future of this country if these people have any say in how it is run.

My guess is he wants his free shit… Don’t imagine he has any college loan needing to be paid for though, I’d be surprised if finished kindergarten.

Kackles is givng her first rally speech in Wisconsin.

Other than the expected "I prosecuted felons like Donald Trump and I know Donald Trump," she's just kind of a fluff talker. She spouts the usual themes but she's not talking about what she's going to do, does she have any policy differences than Biden or any specifics. It's clickbait for her supporters but woefully short on substance.

She gets a semi-freebie for her first rally but she'll be expected to step up and explain things. She's not giving a warm fuzzy or swaying anyone.

Same drivel that we usually free.

And there is more truth to that than most people know.

Trump isn't a poor black man with a baggy of pot, so she's a bit out of her element here.

I disagree. I think at some point, between now and the election, Harris is installed as President so she attains the legitimacy of The Office.

Biden never did...And no matter how the Dems and the media try, she certainly won't either!

I agree. The left wants one thing more than anything else - to be able to say that they were the party that gave us THE FIRST BLACK FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!1!!1. (even though she's not black)

They have a pretty good sense that Trump is going to trounce her (should he survive), so this is their only chance to get THE FIRST BLACK FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!1!!!1!!1. (even though she's not black)
