Ceasefire deal boosts Biden's foreign policy legacy in the nick of time
President Biden delivers his farewell address to the nation this evening, with just five days left in his presidency.
The speech comes on a day when Biden announced that he successfully brokered a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas to end the fighting in Gaza after 15 months of war.
President Biden got that truce done just in time, in the closing days of his administration, which will become a part of his complex legacy. He had some significant and notable achievements in his four years as president, but his tenure was also clouded by questions about his age, voter concern about the economy, and his unprecedented move to step aside late in the campaign to allow Kamala Harris to take his place as the Democratic nominee for president.
