President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Wednesday night from the Oval Office to tell the American people exactly why he had decided to step aside and pass the torch to his Vice President, Kamala Harris.
While some (myself included) believed that President Biden was pushed to make the decision to end his bid for re-election, his selfless choice to put the country's needs ahead of his own wants has re-energized America's voting population.
The response to VP Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee has been nothing short of historic, with over $200 million raised since Sunday's shocking announcement from the President.
Voters across the country have been mobilized to gather over Zoom to create a massive coalition of support for VP Harris. At the same time, the nation has been offering its gratitude to President Biden.
The ratings for the President's address from behind the Resolute Desk prove that Americans weren't only paying attention, but took his message to heart.
Nearly 29 million viewers tuned in to watch the address live, with millions of others watching the replay on social media channels such as YouTube.
Conversely, about 25 million watched Donald Trump's unhinged RNC acceptance speech full of lies--yes, he was still wearing the dumb MAGA Maxi Pad--another loss for the flailing campaign marred by controversy and an overwhelming lack of enthusiasm for his unpopular and unliked running mate, JD "Hillbilly Effigy" Vance.
President Biden promised the American people six more months of hard work to finish the job he started, securing his legacy and igniting a new energy to elect Kamala Harris.
Trump has only inspired more mockery.
