President Joe Biden announced his decision to withdraw his 2024 presidential campaign during an address from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening.

Photos of Biden's family, including his late son Beau, were prominently displayed behind him during the address.

Biden's decision to withdraw was aimed at uniting the country and his party to preserve democracy.

At least 40 people, including family members, were present in the Oval Office during Biden's speech.

Biden has a long history of prioritizing his family, including commuting daily from Delaware to Washington, D.C., after his first wife and daughter died in a car accident in 1972.
