Remarks by President Biden Before the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly | New York, NY; the YouTube is 26 minutes long.

My fellow leaders, today is the fourth time I’ve had the great honor of speaking to this assembly as president of the United States.  It will be my last.

[snip]

This summer, I faced a decision whether to seek a second term as president.  It was a difficult decision.  Being president has been the honor of my life.  There is so much more I want to get done.  But as much as I love the job, I love my country more.  I decided, after 50 years of public service, it’s time for a new generation of leadership to take my nation forward. 

My fellow leaders, let us never forget, some things are more important than staying in power.  It’s your people — (applause) — it’s your people that matter the most. 

Remarks by President Biden Before the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly | New York, NY; the YouTube is 26 minutes long. 09/24/2024.

Never forget, we are here to serve the people, not the other way around.  Because the future will be — the future will be won by those who unleash the full potential of their people to breathe free, to think freely, to innovate, to educate, to live and love openly without fear. 

That’s the soul of democracy.  It does not belong to any one country. 

Remarks by President Biden Before the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly | New York, NY; the YouTube is 26 minutes long. 09/24/2024.

Let me close with this.  Even as we navigate so much change, one thing must not change: We must never forget who we’re here to represent. 

“We the People.”  These are the first words of our Constitution, the very idea of America.  And they inspired the opening words of the U.N. Charter.

From Wednesday…

It’s remarkable, the power of “We the People,” that makes me more optimistic about the future than I’ve ever been since I was first elected to the United States Senate in 1972.
