President Biden told Americans he’s “not going away” after leaving the Oval Office in January, saying he plans to continue his foreign and domestic policy work. The president made the comment during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday morning in New York City.
As he prepares to leave the White House following decades in public office, Mr. Biden said he will continue to work on domestic policy matters with the University of Delaware’s Biden Institute and foreign policy matters with the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C. Both programs were established after he left the vice presidency in 2016. The Beau Biden Foundation, which works on behalf of vulnerable children in his late son’s memory, has also been an important passion of the president and First Lady Jill Biden.Â
“I’m less concerned about what my legacy is,” Mr. Biden, 81, told “The View.” “Although I’m leaving, I’m not going away, because there’s so many other things I want to do in terms of the Biden Institute on foreign policy, Biden Institute in Delaware on domestic policy, to keep the things going that we started. And I think we’ll get it done.”
