Biden insists he will remain president through January despite broad concern about his mental acuity.
Biden said he stood down to “unite” the Democrats who had become divided over his cognitive fitness and electability against Republican nominee former President Donald Trump.
“When you elected me in this office, I promised to always level with you, to tell you the truth,” said Biden — despite not directly acknowledging or addressing concerns about his apparent mental decline in his 11-minute address.
“In recent weeks, it’s become clear to me I need to unite my party … but nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy – and that includes personal ambition,” Biden said.
“So I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. That’s the best way to unite our nation,” he said.
