In a heartfelt farewell, Biden reflects on his presidency days before Trump takes office
Washington: Retiring President Joe Biden shared his farewell letter, calling it the “privilege of my life” to serve the nation. This comes just days before President-elect Donald Trump takes over.
Biden reflected on the challenges faced during his term, mentioning the pandemic and economic crisis. He emphasized how Americans came together to overcome these tough times.
He expressed that he ran for president to protect the soul of America, stating that the essence of who we are is still at stake. Biden believes in the powerful idea of equality and the rights of all citizens.
He shared his journey from humble beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to the Oval Office, feeling blessed by the support of the American people throughout his 50 years of service.
Biden urged Americans to keep the faith and remember their identity, emphasizing that together, they can achieve anything. He is set to attend Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
Trump has criticized Biden for making the transition difficult, claiming that Biden’s executive orders are wasteful. Despite the tension, Biden and other former presidents are expected at the inauguration.
Interestingly, Michelle Obama won’t be attending the ceremony, and her team hasn’t given a reason. She also missed Jimmy Carter’s funeral recently, which raised some eyebrows.
