Biden's resignation and the future of the presidency: anticipation for his crucial speech

The President of the United States, Joe Biden, confirmed that next Wednesday he will deliver a speech to the nation in which he will address his resignation from the presidential race, as well as talk about "what lies ahead" and his plans to conclude his work in the remaining nearly six months as president. This announcement has generated great anticipation and the message is expected to be broadcast at 8:00 p.m. local time (00:00 GMT). Biden, who has been isolating at his home in Delaware due to his COVID-19 infection, is scheduled to return to the White House on Tuesday and will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. The president's decision to withdraw from his candidacy arose after receiving criticism for his performance in the first debate against Donald Trump, held on June 27. In a letter published last Sunday, Biden explained that his withdrawal is for the good of the country and the party, and he announced that he would address the nation to offer a detailed explanation of his decision. He also named his vice president, Kamala Harris, as his successor, who has already secured the necessary delegates to ensure her nomination at the upcoming Democratic National Convention. In a show of support for Harris, Biden phoned into an event for the vice president's campaign on Monday, expressing his endorsement and encouraging Americans to vote for her. Furthermore, he reaffirmed his commitment to the fight for democracy and expressed his willingness to collaborate in whatever is necessary for the success of Harris's candidacy. Wednesday's speech presents an opportunity for Biden to respond to criticisms from prominent figures in the Republican Party, including former President Trump, who have called for his resignation arguing that if he is not prepared to continue campaigning, he is not prepared to continue serving as president. This statement will be crucial in calming tensions and clarifying the direction that the United States government will take in the coming months. Biden's resignation from the presidential race has shaken the American political landscape and sparked intense debate about the future of the country's leadership. With Harris's nomination as his successor, a new chapter in national politics begins, marked by uncertainty and anticipation of the changes that may occur in the administration and government agenda. The coming days will be crucial for the outgoing president and the vice president-elect, who will face the challenge of maintaining stability and confidence amidst a tumultuous and polarized political landscape. The transition of power in the United States is at a critical stage, where each decision and message carry special significance and can shape the course of future events.
