Joe Biden is scheduled to address the nation on Wednesday at 8 p.m.
The Associated Press reported:
President Joe Biden is scheduled to address the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening to announce his decision to end his Democratic bid for reelection in 2024.
Biden posted on X that he would be speaking “about what’s next” and how to “get the job done for the American people.” He is scheduled to speak at 8 p.m. ET.
“Watch and listen,” he told reporters after his return to Washington, refusing to give any advance notice of his message.
“Wait, why don’t you listen to what I have to say?” he said.
The president left Delaware shortly before 2 p.m. on Tuesday after spending about a week in isolation at his Rehoboth Beach home after contracting COVID-19 for a second time. Biden has now tested negative for the virus and his symptoms have subsided, according to a letter from his physician, Kevin O’Connor, released Tuesday.
Donald Trump is now demanding equal time from networks that decide to broadcast his speech.
Former President Donald Trump’s legal team is demanding that the big four television networks be given equal airtime if they air Democrat President Joe Biden’s primetime speech Wednesday night, in which he plans to explain why he is stepping down in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris instead.
David Warrington, a legal adviser to Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, sent letters to the heads of ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX, requesting that if they were to air Biden’s primetime speech, Trump be given equal time to make his case to the public. Trump accepted the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last week, officially becoming the Republican presidential candidate. Biden withdrew from the presidential race on Sunday and instead endorsed Harris as his successor as the Democratic presidential candidate. This means that Biden’s primetime speech on Wednesday will be a purely political speech in support of the Harris campaign.
The letters from Trump’s legal team to the networks, obtained exclusively by Breitbart News ahead of their release, argue that Biden’s speech was not a “bona fide news event” but a “prime time campaign commercial designed to boost Vice President Harris’ struggling polling ratings.”
“On July 23, 2024, President Biden announced that he would deliver a primetime speech on Wednesday, July 24, 2024,” Warrington wrote in each letter. “The speech is expected to address President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race following his panned debate performances and plummeting poll ratings. It is also expected to address President Biden’s endorsement of Vice President (and “border rep”) Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination. As such, President Biden’s speech will likely not be a bona fide news event but rather a primetime campaign commercial designed to boost VP Harris’s flagging poll ratings.”
