VIEW IN BROWSER MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news Wednesday, Jul. 24, 2024 THE LATEST President Biden's prime-time speech isn't a farewell By Susan Del Percio President Joe Biden's Wednesday prime-time address is designed to tell the nation — and frankly, the rest of the world — "what lies ahead, and how I will finish the job for the American people." We all have questions.    Biden's speech caps a truly wild few weeks in what has become a truly unprecedented election campaign. It all started at the end, following Biden's disastrous debate performance. (As a reminder, that was less than four weeks ago.) Two weeks after the debate, as Biden's critics continued to call for an internal reckoning, a would-be assassin climbed onto a Pennsylvania roof and almost killed former President Donald Trump in the middle of an otherwise unremarkable weekend rally. This act of violence was followed by the political earthquake of Biden withdrawing from the presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place at the top of the ticket.     This is a preview of Susan Del Percio's latest article.
