President Joe Biden is getting ready to say goodbye to the nation in a prime-time speech. This will be his last big act as president, just a few days before Donald Trump takes over. Biden has been in the White House for four years, and his time there has been marked by big events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Biden will start his speech at 8 p. m. ET on Wednesday. He's been trying to wrap up his time in office by looking back at what his administration has done. He thinks the U. S. is in a better place now than it was before, especially with its partners around the world.
Biden has been trying to help Ukraine stand up to Russia's invasion and has taken steps to deal with Iran. He also thinks the economy is stronger than ever, thanks in part to some big laws his administration passed. But not everything has been smooth sailing. High inflation and interest rates have made some people unhappy with his leadership.
Biden decided not to run for re-election, and he thinks Vice President Kamala Harris could have beaten Trump in the 2024 election. He's been in politics for a long time, starting as a senator in 1972 and becoming vice president in 2008. Now, he's ready to pass the torch to the next generation.
