Biden's 2024 Exit Speech Slammed by Trump as "Terrible" and a "Coup

Former President Donald Trump has fiercely criticized President Biden's Oval Office address announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, labeling it as "terrible" and accusing Democrats of orchestrating a "coup" against the president.

Former President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on President Biden's Oval Office address following his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, accusing Democrats of orchestrating a "coup" against him.

In an interview with "Fox & Friends" on Thursday, Trump expressed severe disapproval of Biden's speech, arguing that it raised more questions than answers about the abrupt end of his presidential campaign.

"I think it was a coup. They didn't want him running. He was way down in the polls, and they thought he was going to lose," Trump proclaimed. "They went to him and they said, you can't win the race, which I think is true, unless I did something very foolish, which I wasn't going to do, and I think he was so far down and they said, 'You're not going to win, and you're not in great shape, and you did poorly in the debate.' I think the debate started everything."

Trump further alleged that powerful figures within the Democratic Party, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former President Barack Obama, pressured Biden to withdraw from the race.

"I know a lot of people on the other side, too, that they went, and they forced him out between Pelosi and Obama and some others that you see on television. It was interesting," he remarked. "I'd watch them on television and they act so nice. ‘Oh, yes, we loved you. We loved you behind the scenes.’ I know for a fact they were brutal."

Trump criticized Biden's speech for its length and delivery, claiming that he appeared to be having difficulties.

"It was like a terrible speech and terrible delivery," Trump stated. "He looked like he was having problems, and yet you watch the other networks and you would think he was Ronald Reagan in his prime, Winston Churchill in his prime, and he wasn't. It was not good… It was not a good speech."

"It's so phony what's going on," he continued. "The press is so – it's so fake. Anybody can see it was a problem."

In his Oval Office address on Wednesday, Biden declared his intention to pass the torch to "a new generation" and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor in the Democratic Party's presidential nomination race.

Trump expressed his belief that Harris had been the driving force behind Biden's decision to withdraw from the race.

"I knew there was a palace coup going on, and I assumed that she'd be probably getting it," Trump said of Harris. "She had the advantage."

Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race marks the end of a turbulent chapter in American politics and raises questions about the future of the Democratic Party.

Trump's accusations of a Democratic "coup" are likely to fuel further political polarization and division in the country.

The former president's comments underscore the deep-rooted partisan divisions that continue to plague American society and cast a shadow over the upcoming presidential election in 2024.
