President Biden is set to address the nation about the 2024 election results on Thursday morning, after his VP Kamala Harris conceded the presidential race on Wednesday afternoon.

Joe Biden dropped out of the race back in July, immediately endorsing Harris and saying “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.”

In a post to X on Wednesday, Biden stood by that decision, adding that “Her story represents the best of America’s story.”

Here’s what you need to know to watch Biden’s speech.

Is this the first time Biden has addressed the public since the election ended?

Yes. Kamala Harris gave her official concession speech on Wednesday afternoon, and Biden offered words of encouragement to both her and voters on social media the same day, writing “She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She will continue to be a champion for all Americans.”

His speech will be the first time he’s addressed voters directly in a proper speech.

What did Harris say in her concession speech?

In her concession speech, Harris gracefully conceded the election, noting she had called Trump to do so, but promised to keep fighting for the American people.

“My heart is full today — full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country and full of resolve. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” she said from Washington, D.C. “But hear me when I say, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.”
