Joe Biden spent his final full day as president in South Carolina, reflecting on his political journey and urging Americans to remain hopeful. He spoke at the Royal Missionary Baptist Church, citing Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy as his political heroes and acknowledging the crucial role South Carolina played in his 2020 presidential victory.
Biden acknowledged the ongoing challenges facing the nation but emphasized the importance of maintaining faith in a better future. He also addressed the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, brokered with US involvement, and offered advice to the incoming Trump administration on maintaining the deal.
Biden faced criticism from some who opposed his administration's arms shipments to Israel and argued for stronger action to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Despite these criticisms, Biden remained focused on his message of hope and unity.
He and First Lady Jill Biden visited the International African American Museum in Charleston, a site commemorating the arrival of enslaved Africans in the United States. Biden expressed his gratitude to South Carolina for its support and acknowledged the state's pivotal role in his political career.
The visit to South Carolina marked the end of Biden's presidency, a period marked by both challenges and triumphs. As he prepares to hand over the reins to Donald Trump, Biden leaves behind a legacy of hope and resilience.
