Biden to address nation after Trump’s election victory in 2024 presidential race
President Joe Biden will address the nation on November 7, 2024, following a significant election defeat for the Democrats against Republican Donald Trump. Biden was replaced as the Democratic candidate by Vice President Kamala Harris in July due to concerns about his performance. Trump's victory was unexpected, as polls indicated a close race. He won five of seven battleground states and is projected to become the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W. Bush. Republicans also regained control of the U.S. Senate. In the wake of the election, Trump is expected to revive his previous trade policies, including tariffs. He has received congratulations from global leaders, including China's Xi Jinping, while Biden's administration plans to expedite security assistance to Ukraine before the transition.
