America President Joe Biden mumbled his way through an 11 minute farewell address to the nation and claimed he could have served another four years if he wanted to.Biden, 81, spoke quietly, at times haltingly, and his voice was scratchy as he explained his stunning decision not to seek reelection.The President said he had chosen to ‘pass the torch’ to Vice President Kamala Harris because it was time for ‘younger voices’ and he believed that would ‘unite’ the country and ‘save’ democracy.
Biden looked intently into the camera during the primetime address for which he was seated behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.He said: ‘I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America’s future, all merited a second term.’But nothing, nothing, can come in the way of saving our democracy, and that includes personal ambition, so I decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation’ Biden aded.
