Biden tells nation he will finish term after Dems push him out of race, hints at change to Supreme Court | 24 July 2024 | President [sic] Biden addressed the nation for the first time on Wednesday since bowing out of the 2024 election on Sunday, saying he is passing the torch to "a new generation" while again throwing his support behind Kamala Harris in her campaign to secure the Democratic Party's nomination. The speech lasted roughly 11 minutes, with the president sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office while touting his years in political office and decision to bow out. Members of the president's family were in attendance for the speech, including first lady Jill Biden, daughter Ashley Biden, son Hunter Biden and others. Biden said he looks forward to the work before him in his final six months in office, including pushing for Supreme Court reforms. Media reports recently surfaced that Biden is considering supporting legislation that would attempt to impose term limits on Supreme Court justices and a new enforceable ethics code.
