Biden's farewell message reflects feelings of gratitude to the American people, affirming his commitment to serving the nation throughout his extended political career
U.S. President Joe Biden began his White House farewell with a message of gratitude to Americans for "their love and support," ahead of his anticipated farewell address this Wednesday evening.
The White House highlighted Biden's statements saying: "I have given my heart and soul to our nation, and in return, I received the love and support of the American people a million times over."
The 82-year-old Biden is preparing to hand over power to his successor Donald Trump next Monday, following the Republican candidate's sweeping victory in last November's elections.
The veteran Democratic politician's journey in the White House ends after four years at the helm of the world's most powerful democracy.
Biden expressed his pride saying: "It has been the honor of my life to serve this nation for more than 50 years."
The White House issued a detailed account of Biden's presidential achievements, including the "historic recovery" from the coronavirus pandemic and "growing the economy and reducing costs" during his presidency.
Biden's insistence on running for a second term, despite growing concerns about his age and mental capabilities, will remain etched in many Americans' memories.
