President Joe Biden plans to deliver two major speeches before leaving office as part of an effort to outline what he sees as key parts of his legacy from more than 50 years in public service, according to two people familiar with the plans.

The first speech is set to focus on foreign policy and is expected to be delivered sometime after Biden returns on Jan. 12 from a trip to Italy, these people said. They said Biden then plans to close out his final days in the White House with a farewell address to the country.

Neither speech has been fully drafted, the sources familiar with the president’s plans said, but the contours and themes of both have been developed.

n his farewell address, Biden is expected to offer a message to Americans for the future and reflect on his decades in public office, including his four years in the White House, according to the people familiar with the president’s plans.

1. Republicans are preparing to downplay and negate whatever he says thru the media they primarily own and control.

3. Fuck Bezos and Musk.

And all the other shitty greedy-ass people in this country who are fucking things up to please that asshole.

2. Thank you for posting this. I've been thinking a lot about what the president would do in these last weeks...

...and I want to hear what he puts before the American people and the world.

It occurs to me too that his eulogy for President Carter might be something of a reflection on what matters most in a presidency, in a life.

4. "Biden is expected to offer a message to Americans for the future...'

Whatever the message, the future for the next four years at least is bleak – with the fascist reactionary right dragging America into the past with their agenda of fear, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and hate.

5. Oh good. Another speech. That's been working great for us..

Why not throw in another session on The View?

6. History will regard Biden's presidency

and probably his life, too, as one of the most consequential in our history.

There's no need for him to give one, let alone two, speeches about himself and his legacy. The sad facts is Biden no longer speaks well due to his congenital stutter and the effects of age upon his ability to overcome it as he did when he was younger.

7. Perhaps that is the reason why Biden is breaking it into 2 smaller speaches.
