The US president said that he ended his reelection campaign to “save democracy”
The upcoming election in November will be “an inflection point” for the country, US President Joe Biden said in his first public speech after ending his campaign to seek a second term and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as his potential replacement.
Speaking from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening, Biden said that he is determined to unite the Democratic Party and “pass the torch to a new generation.”
“I revere this office, but I love my country more,” Biden said. “I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America’s future, all merit a second term. But nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition.”
