11 分钟New from the embedded podcast, elite female runners are being told they can't compete because of their biology.
Not only can you not compete, you're not actually female.
Hear about the hundred year history of sex testing in women's sports and the hard choices these athletes are facing.
Now listen to tested, a new series from CBC and NPR's Embedded podcast.
Hey there.
It's the NPR Politics podcast.
I'm Ashley Lopez.
I'm Tamara Keith.
I cover the White House.
And I'm Mara Liasson, senior national political correspondent.
I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America's future, all merited a second term.
But nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy.
That includes personal ambition.
So I've decided the best way forward is the pass the torch to a new generation.
That was President Biden from the Oval Office this evening, formalizing his announcement that he will not run for reelection.
It is now 08:44 p.m.
eastern time on Wednesday, July 24.
And Tam, Mara, for folks who weren't able to catch the address, what was the message of the president's speech tonight?
I think that this was a speech that tried to accomplish a couple of things, certainly about explaining why he stepped aside.
And it was, in essence, trying to write the first version of what he thinks his legacy should be and how he feels that this choice should be remembered.
