President Joe Biden will appear before the nation Wednesday night, delivering his first live remarks after announcing that he would not seek reelection.
Tomorrow evening at 8 PM ET, I will address the nation from the Oval Office on what lies ahead, and how I will finish the job for the American people.
— President Biden (@POTUS) July 23, 2024
The president hasn’t made live appearances since his COVID-19 diagnosis last Wednesday. The Hill reported he is in insolation at his Rehoboth Beach, Del., home.
He will be returning to the White House Tuesday afternoon before his public address to the country.
Biden’s trip to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library to remark on the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act has been rescheduled for Monday, according to the White House.
It has been a reckoning for this Biden/Harris campaign after his debate with former President Donald Trump. Trump’s attempted assassination may have ever contributed to the dwindling faith in the President. After pressure from Democrats, Biden announced Sunday that he would not seek election., endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee.
Support for Harris among Democrats has begun to consolidate, with enough delegates onboard for her to become the nominee, according to The Hill.
Surrogates of Biden told Politico he intends to finish his term. Still, Republicans continue to push for the president to resign, but now without pushback from press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
“The president decided to not run for reelection. That’s it. That’s all he decided on. He wants to continue to do the work. He wants to continue to do the works,” Jean-Pierre said on ABC’s “The View.”
