President Joe Biden will deliver a farewell address to the American people from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening, marking the conclusion of his one-term presidency. This speech will take place just days before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

The 82-year-old president’s farewell speech will serve as his final opportunity to reflect on his time in office. Earlier this week, Biden delivered remarks at the State Department, where he underscored his administration’s foreign policy achievements, especially in restoring American alliances and reasserting the nation’s global leadership after the previous Trump administration. He stated that his successor would inherit “a very strong hand to play” in shaping international relations.

Although the White House has not disclosed the exact content of Biden’s farewell address, it is expected to address his decision not to seek a second term. In July, facing growing pressure from within the Democratic Party, Biden announced that he would not run for re-election after a difficult debate performance against Trump.

Vice President Kamala Harris subsequently led the Democratic ticket in a campaign that was launched with minimal preparation time, a stark contrast to the typical year-long process. Harris sought to unite the party and galvanize the nation during an unprecedented election cycle.

Biden’s farewell speech is expected to reflect on his administration’s successes, the hurdles faced during his presidency, and his vision for the country moving forward, offering a moment of reflection as the nation prepares for a new chapter under President Trump.
