When you elected me to this office, I promised to always level with you, to tell you the truth.
00:08
And the truth, the sacred cause of this country is larger than any one of us.
00:14
And those of us who cherish that cause, cherish it so much,
00:19
the cause of American democracy itself, must unite to protect it.
00:23
You know, in recent weeks, it's become clear to me that I need to unite my party
00:30
in this critical endeavor. I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world,
00:38
my vision for America's future, all merited a second term. But nothing, nothing can come
00:46
in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition.
00:51
So I've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation.
00:58
That's the best way to unite our nation. You know, there is a time and a place for long years
01:04
of experience in public life. There's also a time and a place for new voices, fresh voices,
01:11
yes, younger voices. And that time and place is now. In just a few months,
01:18
the American people will choose the course of America's future.
01:22
I made my choice. I made my views known. I would like to thank our great Vice President Kamala
01:29
Harris. She's experienced. She's tough. She's capable. She's been an incredible partner to me
01:37
and a leader for our country. Now the choice is up to you, the American people.
