Biden backs Harris, pushes Supreme Court 'reform' in 'pass the torch' speech about ending 2024 bid

President Biden addressed the nation Wednesday evening for the first time since bowing out of the 2024 presidential race, saying it's time to pass the torch to a "new generation."

The speech lasted roughly 11 minutes, with the president sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office while touting his years in political office and decision to bow out. Members of the president's family were in attendance for the speech, including first lady Jill Biden, daughter Ashley Biden, son Hunter Biden and others. 

The president said he looks forward to the work before him in his final six months in office, including pushing for Supreme Court reforms. 

"I'm gonna call for Supreme Court reform, because this is critical to our democracy," he said. Media reports recently surfaced that Biden is considering supporting legislation that would attempt to impose term limits on Supreme Court justices and a new enforceable ethics code.
