In a historic speech, the first of its kind in more than 56 years, President Joe Biden addressed the nation from the Oval Office Wednesday night, explaining why he will not seek a second term.
“I revere this office, but I love my country more,” Biden said. “Nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition.”
He said it has “been the privilege of my life to serve this nation for over 50 years.” But, in the only time that he alluded to his age as being the possible reason he is stepping away from the race, Biden said it was time to “pass the torch.” He said, “There’s also a time and a place for new voices. Fresh voices. Yes, younger voices.”
