The President pledged to maintain his agenda in his last six months in the White House, saying he intends to keep working for peace in the Middle East and to call for reform of the U.S. Supreme Court
President Joe Biden said he abandoned his re-election bid to unite his own party in defending the democratic foundations of the United States, during a televised address from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening in which he made a thinly veiled plea to the American people to keep Donald Trump from once again occupying that space.
Mr. Biden cited a warning from the inventor and statesman Benjamin Franklin that the U.S. would remain a republic rather than reverting to a monarchy only “if you can keep it.” He intimated that leaving office was his own attempt to contribute to the health of U.S. democracy, and beseeched voters to do the same.
The American public has welcomed Mr. Biden’s decision – nearly nine in 10 believe it was the right thing to do, according to a poll this week by NPR, PBS and the Marist Institute for Public Opinion – and the Democratic Party rapidly closed ranks around Ms. Harris. No challenger to her candidacy has emerged. The only serious question for Democrats is who Ms. Harris will choose as a running mate.
Ms. Harris, 59, has sought to differentiate herself from the septuagenarian Mr. Trump. During a Wednesday campaign appearance, she accused him of “trying to take us backward.”
