Biden to Deliver Farewell Address

January 15, 2025 at 6:25 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“President Joe Biden is set to deliver his farewell address at 8 p.m. tonight, saying goodbye to elected office after 53 years of seeking it, a quest that defined well more than half of his life,” Politico reports.

“He leaves office in confounding fashion. He recently welcomed Donald Trump back to the Oval Office after calling him an ‘existential threat’ during the campaign. He pledged not to pardon his son Hunter Biden after his conviction on federal gun charges only to do exactly that. And after a public life defined by his provenance from outside the Beltway, Biden will deliver his address from the Oval Office — not Delaware, not Scranton, not even Philadelphia, where city leaders want his presidential library.”
