Biden is set to discuss “what lies ahead, and how [he] will finish the job for the American people.”

On Tuesday, Joe Biden announced his first in-person public appearance since dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. The commander in chief will address the nation at 8pm EST on Wednesday.
Since being diagnosed with Covid last week, Biden has been holed up at his home in Rehoboth, Delaware. Despite the fact that presidential physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor recently noted that Biden's symptoms have "almost resolved completely," and that all his vitals are "absolutely normal," his only appearance has been a call-in to Kamala Harris' campaign event on Monday.

"I won't be on the ticket, but I'm still gonna be fully, fully engaged," Biden added. "I've still got six months left in my presidency, and I'm determined to get as much done as I possibly can, both foreign policy and domestic policy."
