Biden to give Oval Office address in first remarks since dropping out of 2024 presidential race

President Biden will address the nation Wednesday night from the Oval Office in his first on-camera remarks since he announced his shocking decision to drop out of the race for president.

The president will speak at 8 p.m. ET "on what lies ahead, and how I will finish the job for the American people," as he put it on X. The White House has not previewed the president's remarks. 

Democrats have fallen in line behind Vice President Kamala Harris, who Mr. Biden endorsed for the Democratic nomination shortly after announcing he would be ending his campaign. Mr. Biden cannot appoint a successor for the Democratic nomination, but since his announcement on Sunday, Harris has secured endorsements from a majority of Democratic delegates.
