When is President Joe Biden's address to the nation after dropping out of the 2024 race?

President Joe Biden's decision Sunday to drop out of the 2024 election has Americans wondering when they will hear his comments on the historic move.

On Sunday, the 81-year-old president announced he ended his bid for reelection amid intense pressure from scores of Democratic leaders over recent weeks.

The historic move took place just over 100 days out from the Nov. 5 election, when he planned to take on former President Donald Trump . The move has led to several names being floated as potential replacements including Vice President Kamala Harris.

As of Sunday, Biden had not formally addressed the nation outside of the written statement posted to his social media accounts .

Here's what to know about when the president plans to speak more on his decision:

When is Biden's address to the nation?

According to Biden's post , Americans can expect to hear more from the president in the coming days.

"I will speak to the nation later this week in more to detail about my decision," the president wrote.

He did not give an exact date or time.

Biden drops out via prepared statement

Via a letter addressed to Americans on X, Biden made the announcement from his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

The president tested positive for COVID-19 Thursday night and has been self-isolating there since.

"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President," Biden wrote in the letter. "And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and my country for me to stand down and to focus solely on my duties as President for the rest of my term."

In the one-page letter, the president also praised Harris for her work as vice president.

The move was a 180 for the president, who for three weeks remained defiant in the face of increased calls from Democratic lawmakers to drop out of the race after a June 27 debate with Trump which raised both questions and concerns about the president's mental fitness.

Harris files for presidential bid

The campaign formerly known as Biden for President, in a filing Sunday afternoon with the Federal Election Commission, changed its name to the Harris for President campaign.

That means Harris’ bid for the Democratic nomination official, with her campaign assuming control of Biden’s campaign money. It also allows Harris to begin raising money for her own presidential bid.
