What time is President Joe Biden's farewell address? How to watch in Oregon
Wednesday night, Oregonians can watch President Joe Biden give his farewell address to the nation as he enters the final days of his administration.
During his single presidential term, Biden, 82, has pushed through major pieces of legislation to unleash historic infrastructure spending, a resurgence of clean-energy factories and investments in the microchip industry to catch up to China, and renew ties with the country's international allies.
In the last few weeks alone, Biden has made a number of policy decisions and executive actions, including his most recent executive order to "accelerate the speed at which we build the next generation of AI infrastructure here in America," according to the Biden administration.
An influx of last-minute policy decisions are typical for presidents as Biden prepares for President-elect Donald Trump to return to the White House on Jan. 20.
Biden battled through low approval ratings and was blamed for inflation despite other strong economic metrics. He was also also unable to prevent the political comeback of Trump, who he repeatedly warned was a threat to U.S. democracy.
Biden was the Democrats' nominee for president until late July, when he dropped out of the race following a poor debate performance. He went on to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, who eventually lost to Trump in November.
