President Biden used his fourth and final speech to the UN General Assembly to reflect on his five decades in public life and advise his fellow leaders that "some things are more important than staying in power."

After more than five decades at the forefront of United States foreign policy, President Joe Biden may have hoped to use his speech to over a hundred world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly in New York to burnish both his own legacy and the country’s leadership on the world stage.

During his final speech as president to the United Nations General Assembly, President Joe Biden called on world leaders to pass on their power to the next generation as he spoke about his decision to step out of the 2024 presidential race.

President Joe Biden, reflecting on his decision to step aside, told world leaders: "Some things are more important than staying in power. It's your people."
