WASHINGTON (AP) — Even though President Joe Biden won’t be on the ballot in November, voters still will be weighing his legacy.
As Vice President Kamala Harris moves to take his place as the Democratic standard-bearer, Biden’s accomplishments remain very much at risk should Republican Donald Trump prevail.
How Biden’s single term and his decision to step aside are remembered will be intertwined with Harris’ electoral result in November, particularly as the vice president runs tightly on the achievements of the Biden administration.
Biden will have an opportunity to make a case for his legacy — sweeping domestic legislation, renewal of alliances abroad, defense of democracy — on Wednesday night when he delivers an Oval Office address about his decision to bow out of the race and “what lies ahead.”
Watch Biden’s Oval Office address live at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST here:
