Good morning, Justin.
Nice to be here at your time of time of day.
06:00 a.m.
it's way later than I normally come into the office.
Oh, actually, yeah, there's a lie in front of me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was just thinking, the last time I watched footage of Joe Biden on my phone and it was dark was the presidential debate with Donald Trump.
That basically led us to this moment, which is me watching more of Joe Biden speaking on my phone in the dark because he's just done his address from the Oval office where he, well, it was, Bill is explaining to the american people why he was not going to be the candidate at the election.
I promise to always level with you, to tell you the truth.
And the truth, the sacred cause of this country is larger than any one of us.
And those of us who cherish that cause, cherish it so much.
A cause of american democracy itself must unite to protect it.
You know, in recent weeks, it's become clear to me that I need to unite my party in this critical endeavor.
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 to pass the torch to a new generation.
That's the best way to unite our nation.
