In his farewell address, President Joe Biden warned that American democracy is under threat, citing "abuse of power" and misinformation as key concerns. He did not mention his successor by name but alluded to wealthy advisers as risks to freedom. Biden called for reforms to the Supreme Court, Congress, and campaign finance laws. He emphasized the need to amend the Constitution to ensure no president is immune from crimes committed while in office. As Biden's term ends, he will continue to speak publicly, addressing the U.S. Conference of Mayors and visiting South Carolina before leaving office. Donald Trump is set to begin his second term on January 20.
