Outgoing US President Joe Biden will give his final national address on Wednesday at 8 p.m. (ET) from the Oval Office.
The Washington Post reports that President-elect Donald Trump is gearing up for his inauguration on January 20 at the Capitol.
Just a day earlier, Biden discussed his choice to exit the presidential race, a decision he made to unite the Democratic Party, confident though he was in his potential for a victory. “Even though I thought I could win again, I stepped aside to unify the party,” Biden said, adding that he believed Vice President Kamala Harris had a strong chance of winning.
