How to View Biden’s Farewell Speech from the Oval Office

0

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is set to give his farewell address to the nation on Wednesday evening, a speech aimed at showcasing his administration’s achievements during his four years in office. This event coincides with the recent agreement between Israel and Hamas to establish a ceasefire, as well as the planned release of certain hostages, a diplomatic effort that Biden has been actively pursuing since the onset of the conflict.

In a letter released ahead of his address, Biden expressed optimism about the nation’s resilience, stating that the United States has emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic stronger. He emphasized the collective responsibility of citizens, writing, “History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The idea of America lies in your hands. We just have to keep the faith and remember who we are. We are the United States of America, and there is simply nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together.”

When can viewers expect to see the speech?
The farewell address is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

Where will Biden deliver his remarks?
The president will speak from the Oval Office. In contrast, recent presidents have chosen different venues for their farewell addresses; for instance, former President Barack Obama delivered his from his residence in Chicago, while George W. Bush opted for the East Room, Bill Clinton addressed the public from the Oval Office, and Donald Trump provided a pre-recorded speech that was released on January 19, 2021.

What channels will broadcast the event?
The White House will stream much of the event live. Major television networks, including ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Fox News, and potentially CNN, are expected to air the speech live as it happens.

For those who prefer online viewing, there will also be a livestream available at the White House website.
