From Fox News: President Biden addressed the nation Wednesday from the Oval Office for the first time since announcing over the weekend that he was withdrawing from the 2024 race and passing the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume reacted to the roughly 11-minute address, saying he doesn’t quite buy Biden’s reasoning for dropping out of the presidential race.
“To hear the president tell it, he was fine with running for re-election, thought he could win the race and serve for four more years until sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning, when it dawned on him, apparently, that it was time for a new generation of leaders,” Hume said.
“Something that escaped his notice these many months and years, and then he got up on Sunday and decided he would turn everything over to this new generation led by Kamala Harris,” Hume mocked.
“It was quite a conversion overnight, it seems, if you believe it. I’m not sure I do,” he declared.
He also mocked Biden for claiming he was saving democracy.
