President Biden delivered a farewell speech to the nation from the Oval Office tonight — a chance for him to one last time before he leaves the White House.
Biden, 82, has spent roughly half a century in Washington politics, and had hoped for another four years at the White House. On Monday, he will be succeeded by Donald Trump — a leader Biden had vowed to make a one-term president.
Biden ran for president insisting the soul of the nation was at stake. That's still the case, Biden said today in . "History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The idea of America lies in your hands."
