Biden delivers farewell address with family and officials by his side

thedailybeast.com — January 16, 2025 at 07:01 AM UTC

President Joe Biden delivered his farewell address from the Oval Office, supported by family and key officials. He warned of an "oligarchy" threatening democracy and criticized social media's dangers, indirectly referencing former President Trump without naming him. In a related interview, Jill Biden discussed her long friendship with Nancy Pelosi and expressed disappointment regarding Biden's exit. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff have remained low-profile since Harris' election loss in November 2024. As Biden concludes his presidency, President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering suspending TikTok's ban through an executive order. This marks a shift from his previous stance, where he sought to ban the app due to national security concerns.
