Biden’s win in the state’s 2020 Democratic primary set him up to achieve his life’s goal of becoming president.

Biden conveyed his deep appreciation for first lady Jill Biden, who joined him in the Oval Office. “My deepest appreciation to our amazing first lady with me in the Oval today, for our entire family, you’re the love of my life and the lives of my love,” he said. “My eternal thanks to you, the American people.”

President Biden will spend his final full day in office in Charleston, S.C., where five years ago he revived his flailing campaign.
