President Biden delivered a somewhat grim primetime farewell speech on Wednesday from the Oval Office to mark the final days of his presidency. The speech is among Biden's last as president and comes after he made remarks earlier from the White House to announce a ceasefire agreement had emerged between Israel and Hamas that will work toward an end to the war in Gaza. That marked a major diplomatic win for Biden in a conflict that had defined the final year of his presidency. The Oval Office speech will round out a busy day in Washington where some of President-elect Trump’s Cabinet nominees continue to clash with Democrats during confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill. Half a dozen nominees went before Senate lawmakers earlier on Wednesday, including Trump’s pick for next attorney general Pam Bondi, his secretary of State pick Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and John Ratcliffe who the incoming president has chosen to be his director of the CIA. Follow along for live updates below.
