In Your Hands

My fellow Americans, I'm speaking to you tonight from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

I revere this office, but I love my country more.  It's been the honor of my life to serve as your president.  But in the defense of democracy, which is at stake, I think it's more important than any title.  I draw strength and find joy in working for the American people.  But this sacred task of perfecting our union is not about me, it's about you.  Your families, your futures.

History is in your hands.  The power's in your hands.  The idea of America lies in your hands.

-- President Joe Biden, in a speech on ending his run for re-election, 24 July 2024
