Joe Biden stepped up to protect his administration's legacy in today's Oval Office address.

The US President has explained why he stepped out of the race and endorsed Kamala Harris for President this week.

He'd remained staunch against withdrawing for three weeks despite vast pressure and concern from those close to him about his ability to serve another term.

Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean says it's 'incredibly painful' to recognise the dream is over when you're as far along as he was.

"I think he's a guy of tremendous accomplishments. Is he a guy of tremendous ambition? Sure, but it's pretty easy to forgive that when you're the President of the United States."
