Biden’s Most Important Speech

Jeff Greenfield: “Not only will Joe Biden not be a two-term president — now he needs to convince the American public that he’s up to the job for another six months.”

“Indeed, the speech Biden gives on Wednesday evening to announce the coming end of his political career also has to salvage it. Amid growing questions over his age and acuity, senior Republicans have called on Biden to resign or for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to remove him from office. Democrats have bristled at the notion, even as they’ve also been forced to acknowledge he’s lost more than a few steps after their pressure campaign to push him off the ticket.”

“It’s one of the most important addresses Biden will ever give, and it will differ significantly from other speeches where a politician faced a potential end of the line.”
