President Biden dropped out of the race against Donald Trump and endorsed Kamala Harris while isolating with Covid-19 in Delaware.

The White House speech will be the first time President Joe Biden had addressed the nation since dropping out of the race against Donald Trump and endorsing Kamala Harris .

Biden's decision to exit the race on Sunday during that Covid quarantine came after a weeks-long pressure campaign from Democratic lawmakers, donors and strategists calling on him to step aside after his stumbling June debate performance against Trump.

Those names have now been ruled out as potential Harris challengers and instead are on the list to become her running mate.
