President Joe Biden will wrap up his enduring political career with a conclusive Oval Office address, aiming to highlight his significant achievements. Despite substantial successes, his legacy faces challenges due to the Democrats' inability to prevent Donald Trump's political resurgence.

Biden, initially a transitional candidate, faced criticism after opting for reelection at 80, subsequently losing to Trump in a pivotal debate. His administration navigated the U.S. COVID recovery, infrastructure rejuvenation, semiconductor manufacturing alignment, and climate change initiatives, leaving behind a robust economy.

However, Biden struggled to mend national divisions and prevent democratic decline. His tenure saw a temporary victory over Trump, but now faces reversal with a Republican president-elect. Biden emphasized ongoing threats to America's core values, urging efforts to uphold equality and democracy amid political turbulence.
