BREAKING: President Biden Set To Address The Nation Following Exit From Race

On Tuesday, the White House revealed that President Joe Biden will address the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening at 8 PM EST. Biden's address, the second in just two weeks, will provide a much-needed explanation to the American public for why the 81-year-old Democrat decided to exit the presidential race on Sunday.

The president's address will be the president's first public appearance since he was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Wednesday, leading to the cancellation of a campaign event in Las Vegas and his isolation at his Delaware home for multiple days. During that time, Biden stunned the world with an unprecedented letter posted to X that explained that it would be in the best interest of his party and that nation that he does not seek a second term. The president did not elaborate as to his reasoning, leading some, including his brother Frank Biden, to argue that the president's health was the motivation behind the surprising decision.

The president's brother, Frank Biden, told CBS News that the president's health "absolutely" played a role in his decision not to continue his re-election bid. "I'm incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left. He is a genuine hero. Country over self. Sounds corny in our cynical political environment, but he nor I are cynical. The goal remains the same, defeat Trump and continue the work that Joe has done. My hope is that our party rallies around this heroic act," Frank Biden explained.

According to CBS, a source close to the Biden family rejected any suggestion that President Biden's health was failing him, claiming that Frank Biden is an alcoholic who does not speak for the family. "Frank Biden suffers from alcoholism and hasn't spoken to his brother, the president, in weeks. What he said about President Biden's health being a factor in his decision is completely untrue," the source asserted. The White House has continued to assert that President Biden's health did not play a role in his decision to step away from the presidential race.
