00:00And finally, as you all know, and certainly are tracking, what we saw from the President

00:06the last couple of days is what we have seen from him over the last several decades.

00:13Human decency, patriotism, a good man who puts the American people ahead of himself.

00:21As the President said in his letter this past Sunday, it has been the greatest honor of

00:26my life to serve as your President, and while it has been my intention to seek re-election,

00:33I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down

00:38and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.

00:46As a member of his team, and as an American, I am proud of this President's record.

00:52He's accomplished more in nearly one term than most Presidents have in two terms.

00:58The President remains focused on fighting for the American people and building on the

01:03historic progress his administration has made.

01:07He's focused on growing the middle class instead of delivering big giveaways to corporations

01:12and the ultra-wealthy.

01:14Fighting to lower costs for families instead of raising them by threatening to cut critical

01:19programs like Social Security.

01:21Fighting for a fairer tax system instead of championing a $2 trillion tax bill that overwhelmingly

01:28benefited the ultra-wealthy.

01:31Making healthcare more accessible and more affordable instead of working to eliminate

01:35the Affordable Care Act.

01:37Strengthening and growing NATO, not eliminating it.

01:41And fighting for reproductive freedom, not working to take it away.

01:45You will hear directly from President Biden when he addresses the nation tonight at 8pm

01:51Eastern Standard Time.

01:53Tonight the President will discuss his historic decision to put the country above all else

02:00and about the inflection point we face as a country in this moment.

02:05This is one of those rare moments in history when the decisions we make now will determine

02:12the future of our nation.

02:15America must choose between moving forward or backward.

02:19Between hope and hate.

02:21Between unity and division.

02:24He signed historic, monumental pieces of legislation into law and has worked across party lines

02:31to get a lot of them done.

02:34From jump-starting a historic economic recovery to the largest investment in clean energy

02:40and climate action, gun safety and more.

02:42The President is proud to have delivered these historic results for the American people and

02:47he is going to use the remainder of his term to build on this progress for the future with

02:53the enduring faith he has in our nation and so therefore I encourage all Americans to

02:58tune in tonight to hear directly from the President.
