Biden’s latest stunt involves a prime-time Oval Office address that coincides with his shocking announcement to bow out of the 2024 presidential race. His claim of wanting to focus on “finishing the job for the American people” seems more like a last-ditch effort to salvage his tarnished reputation rather than a sincere call to action. It appears the only job Biden is finishing is the one he promised would end in 2024, but apparently that job wasn’t so appealing after all.
The address is set to air at 8 p.m. Eastern time, a prime slot for what looks more like a farewell tour instead of a rallying call for his party. After a week of radio silence due to his recovery from COVID-19, many are left wondering if he’s coming to the nation with something substantial or if he’s merely dusting off the cobwebs from his old speeches. This puzzling timing is a classic example of Biden’s attempts at political theater, designed to distract from his ignoble exit and divert attention away from the chaos within his party.
On Sunday, Biden’s rapid withdrawal from the race dropped like a bombshell, shocking even his inner circle. This decision reportedly came after frantic advice from Democratic heavyweights who feared a Biden-Trump face-off would doom not just him, but the entire Democratic ticket. One has to wonder about the level of delusion in the Democratic ranks that they believed their 81-year-old candidate even had a fighting chance against the former president. Perhaps they were simply hoping for a miracle that never arrived.
The president’s statement of prioritizing the “best interest of my party and the country” rings a little hollow. It’s hard to believe his sudden selflessness isn’t miles away from political self-preservation. Given the disastrous polls and an exceptionally low approval rating, this might just be another calculated move by a leader who has clung to his position longer than he should have—perhaps thinking he could hold out for a Christmas miracle.
Well … I guess that he is still alive … so far, anyway …

In the aftermath of Biden’s exit, GOP voices have echoed the same sentiment: it might be time for him to pack his bags from the Oval Office, too. As the Republicans eagerly await a less turbulent political landscape, they can’t help but relish in the Democratic party’s meltdown. While Biden tries to maintain an aura of control by promising to deliver an inspiring message from the Oval Office, Americans might just be counting down the days until a new, competent leader takes center stage.
