Joe Biden says America is at a turning point in Oval Office speech
"I've decided that the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation," President Joe Biden said from the Oval Office Wednesday night. "That's the best way to unite our nation," the 81-year-old incumbent president opens up about his exit from the 2024 race and his quick endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination.
Certainly, the response to Biden’s prime-time TV address was almost unanimously positive. Blacklist founder Leonard Franklin and Stephen King perhaps put it best and most bluntly, shortly after Biden’s slightly less than 15-minute speech had ended.
Rob Reiner, the director of The American President, one of the major Hollywood donors who called on Biden to withdraw from his re-election campaign after the June 27 presidential debate debacle, left nothing on the table tonight.
