President Joe Biden has announced that he will deliver a primetime address to the country from the White House on Thursday evening. The president's address will come amid growing concerns about the state of the economy and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Biden has been under increasing pressure from Republicans to step down as president, including from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. However, Biden has dismissed these calls, saying that he intends to serve out his full term. Biden's approval ratings have declined in recent months, and he faces a number of challenges as he enters the second half of his term. The economy is facing headwinds, and the war in Ukraine is continuing to drag on. Biden will need to find a way to address these challenges if he wants to improve his approval ratings and win reelection in 2024. In May, Biden endorsed ActBlue, a popular fundraising platform for Democrats. This move was seen as a sign that Biden is preparing for a possible reelection bid in 2024. However, Biden has not yet officially announced whether he will run for reelection. For the latest breaking news and updates on Joe Biden, the 46th president of the United States, visit AP News.
