President-elect Donald Trump is set to be sworn back into office for a second term in the White House. The Republican politician won the 2024 presidential election alongside his running mate, J.D. Vance, defeating Democratic candidates Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.
After four years, the 46th president, Joe Biden, is days away from concluding his term, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the United States.
In his farewell address, as stated on The White House website, Biden expressed his gratitude, saying, “And my eternal thanks to you, the American people. After 50 years of public service, I give you my word, I still believe in the idea for which this nation stands, a nation where the strengths of our institutions and the character of our people matter and must endure.”
He added, “Let me close by stating my gratitude to so many people. To the members of my administration, as well as public service and first responders across the country and around the world, thank you for stepping up to serve. To our service members and your families, it’s been the highest honor of my life to lead you as commander in chief. And, of course, to Kamala and her incredible partner — a historic vice president. She and Doug have become like family. And to me, family is everything. My deepest appreciation to our amazing first lady, who is with me in the Oval today, for our entire family. You are the love of my life and lifes of my love.”
