Biden breaks silence on why he stepped down

In a brief prime-time address from the Oval Office, President Joe Biden said he had abandoned his re-election bid despite believing that his record and his leadership merited a second term.

He declared that it was time for “new voices, fresh voices- yes, younger voices” led by a new generation of leadership in America.

“I revere this office, but I love my country more,” he said in his first speech since passing the torch to Kamala Harris, now the Democrats’ presumptive nominee. “Nothing, nothing, can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition.”
President Biden did not directly address the concerns about his age and his health that led him to quit the race. Instead, he pledged to keep working on foreign and domestic policy, seeking to advance his agenda for the next 180 days, even as a lame-duck president.
