President Joe Biden made his first address since his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of attack lines Wednesday against his likely new opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris at his rally in Charlotte. Harris asked for support from women of color during an address at a historically Black sorority.

Earlier today, thousands of protesters rallied to denounce Israel’s war in Gaza, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a scathing speech to Congress to defend Israel’s conduct in the war and vowed “total victory” against Hamas.

He condemned American opponents while thousands of protesters rallied within sight of the Capitol building.

What to know today:

  • Biden addresses the nation: In Biden’s Oval Office address he explains his decision to bow out of the race. “I revere this office, but I love my country more,” Biden says.
  • Protests in D.C.: Many in the crowds of demonstrators protested the killings of more than 39,000 Palestinians in the war. Others condemned Netanyahu’s inability to free Israeli and American hostages taken by Hamas and other militants during the Oct. 7 attack.
  • Harris and Trump on the campaign trail: Vice President Kamala Harris told a gathering of the historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta in Indianapolis today that “we are not playing around,” in the 2024 presidential election. Meanwhile, Trump turned his full focus on Harris at his first rally since Biden’s exit from 2024 race.
  • Netanyahu’s speech to Congress: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed “total victory” against Hamas and condemned American opponents of the war in Gaza in a scathing speech to Congress. Here’s a look Netanyahu’s claims about Israel, Hamas and Iran during his speech.
