Joe Biden, the President of the United States who had previously withdrawn from the election race, delivered his first speech following this sudden decision. He stated that he is passing the “torch” to the younger generation for the country’s progress, emphasizing that “in America, the people rule, not kings or dictators.”
In his speech yesterday, July 24th, Biden described the “younger generation” as “the best option” for advancing and uniting America.
Biden’s candidacy as the oldest presidential candidate at 81 years old had faced widespread criticism, which, as the 2024 election approached, led him to withdraw from the race and make way for a new, preferably younger candidate.
He is now recognized as the second U.S. President to withdraw from an election campaign due to extensive criticism. Biden described his decision as “the best way for progress” and asserted that in America, power rests with the people, not with kings or dictators who seek eternal rule.
He noted, “The greatest thing about America is that no kings or dictators are ruling here. The people have the power. History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The thought of America is in your hands.”
While implicitly criticizing monarchical political systems and equating them with dictatorial systems, it is important to note that many countries around the world still operate under monarchies. This speech highlights Biden’s emphasis on democratic values and the belief that the future of America lies with its people.
This move not only reflects a commitment to democratic ideals but also sets the stage for new leadership to address the challenges ahead.
