Biden's Emotional Farewell and Legacy

As Joe Biden prepares to hand over the presidency to Donald Trump, he reflects on his time in office with heartfelt gratitude towards the American people. His presidency was dominated by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the fortification of international alliances, and significant diplomatic efforts, including a notable hostage deal. Biden, who describes himself as a child from humble beginnings with a speech impediment, rose to one of the most powerful positions in the world.

During his farewell address, Biden emphasizes the ongoing struggle for the 'soul of America,' warning of threats to democracy and urging national unity. Despite his reluctance, he passed the Democratic nomination to Kamala Harris, his vice president, after deciding not to pursue a second term.

In his final days, Biden has been busy enacting executive actions to cement his legacy, focusing on environmental justice, prison reform, and foreign relations. However, many of these actions face reversal under Trump's incoming administration. Biden promises a smooth transition of power, despite criticisms from Trump. As Biden steps down, he leaves behind a long list of legislative achievements and a commitment to American values.
