Former President Donald Trump recently criticized President Joe Biden’s Oval Office address during his exit from the 2024 election race. He called it a “terrible” speech and accused corrupt Democrats of orchestrating a coup against Biden to remove him from the contest.
Speaking on “Fox & Friends,” Trump said that the abrupt end of his presidential campaign left more questions than answers. He claimed, “I think it was a coup. They didn’t want him running. He was way down in the polls, and they thought he was going to lose.” Trump went on to say that Democrats forced Biden out of the race with Pelosi, Obama, and other high-profile figures playing key roles.
Trump described the speech as “terrible” and criticized its delivery, stating that it lacked the charisma often attributed to great speeches. He also accused the media of being complicit in the alleged conspiracy against Biden. Trump expressed his belief that Vice President Kamala Harris would likely take over as a result of these events.
In response to Trump’s accusations, First Lady Jill Biden made her first formal statement following her husband’s announcement that he would not be running for president in 2024. She expressed her “full of gratitude” for everyone who supported the couple throughout their time in office and reaffirmed her support for Kamala Harris, who had secured enough delegates to be officially nominated by the Democratic Party as Biden’s replacement.
In his Oval Office speech, President Biden declared that he had withdrawn from the race “in defense of democracy” and restated his support for Vice President Kamala Harris. He emphasized the importance of unity, decency, respect, freedom, justice, and democracy in these trying times and called on Americans to work together to preserve their democracy.
