Joe Biden to deliver farewell address on Wednesday
President Joe Biden will deliver his farewell address to the nation next Wednesday, the White House announced.
The speech, set to take place in the Oval Office—a location often reserved for significant announcements—will reflect on Biden’s political career and offer a vision for the nation’s future, according to sources.
While the White House has not disclosed specific details, the address is expected to highlight Biden’s legacy and the progress achieved during his presidency.
The farewell address comes just days before President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office. According to source, Biden had planned two key speeches, including this farewell, to reflect on his time in office.
Traditionally, presidential farewell addresses include reflections on achievements, hopes for the incoming administration, and guidance for the country’s future.
In 2017, former President Barack Obama’s farewell speech stressed the importance of safeguarding democracy, warning against complacency. Similarly, four years ago, Trump’s farewell message extended “best wishes” to the Biden administration and expressed hopes for the nation’s safety and success.
