President Biden will address the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening on his decision to drop his 2024 Democratic reelection bid. Biden posted on X that he would speak "on what lies ahead" and how he will "finish the job for the American people." He will speak at 8pm ET, reports the AP. The president is scheduled to return to the White House on Tuesday after isolating at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after being diagnosed last week with COVID-19. Biden hasn't been seen publicly since July 17, but he called into a campaign meeting on Monday to address staff and express his support for Vice President Kamala Harris' bid to replace him a day after announcing he would leave the race.
