Joe Biden said on Wednesday he is "passing the torch to a new generation" as he explained his abrupt departure from the 2024 presidential race to Americans for the first time on Wednesday night, in an Oval Office address capping over 50 years in politics.
Biden, 81, rebuffed weeks of pressure from Democrats to step aside after a disastrous debate performance on June 27, saying at one point that only the "Lord Almighty" could convince him to go.
“I have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. That is the best way to unite our nation," Biden said.
