Former President Donald Trump slammed President Biden's Oval Office address on his exit from the 2024 presidential race, calling it a "terrible" speech while accusing Democrats of staging a coup against the president.

Trump reacted to Biden's remarks during "Fox & Friends" Thursday, arguing he left more questions than answers Wednesday night on the abrupt end of his presidential campaign.

"I think it was a coup. They didn't want him running. He was way down in the polls, and they thought he was going to lose," Trump said. "They went to him and they said, you can't win the race, which I think is true, unless I did something very foolish, which I wasn't going to do, and I think he was so far down and they said, 'You're not going to win, and you're not in great shape, and you did poorly in the debate.' I think the debate started everything."

"I know a lot of people on the other side, too, that they went, and they forced him out between Pelosi and Obama and some others that you see on television. It was interesting," he continued. "I'd watch them on television and they act so nice. ‘Oh, yes, we loved you. We loved you behind the scenes.’ I know for a fact they were brutal."

Biden addressed the nation for the first time on Wednesday since bowing out of the 2024 election on Sunday, saying he is passing the torch to "a new generation" while again throwing his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris in her campaign to secure the Democratic Party's nomination. 

"I decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. It's the best way to unite our nation. You know, there is a time and a place for long years of experience in public life. There's also a time and place for new voices, fresh voices, yes, younger voices. And that time and place is now," Biden said.

The speech lasted roughly 11 minutes, with the president sitting at the Resolute desk in the Oval Office while touting his years in political office and decision to bow out. Members of the president's family were in attendance for the speech, including first lady Jill Biden, daughter Ashley Biden, son Hunter Biden and others. 

"It was like a terrible speech and terrible delivery," Trump said. "He looked like he was having problems, and yet you watch the other networks and you would think he was Ronald Reagan in his prime, Winston Churchill in his prime, and he wasn't. It was not good… It was not a good speech."

"It's so phony what's going on," he continued. "The press is so – it's so fake. Anybody can see it was a problem."

Biden announced his exit from the presidential race in an X post while self-isolating in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after a COVID-19 diagnosis last Wednesday. After suffering "mild symptoms" and "general malaise" after his diagnosis, he received a negative diagnosis on Tuesday this week and returned to the White House.

His trip to the nation's capital on Tuesday marked the first time Biden was seen in public since suspending his re-election bid and the first time since being diagnosed with COVID-19 on July 17. 

"I knew there was a palace coup going on, and I assumed that she'd be probably getting it," Trump said of Harris. "She had the advantage."

WNBA star rookie Angel Reese already knows what she will be doing during her first offseason. 

Reese became the first rookie in the league to join Unrivaled, the player-owned professional women’s basketball league co-founded by the Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier and New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart. 

The 3-on-3 league, which is based out of Miami, is set to begin in January 2025.

Reese made the announcement on social media along with Unrivaled. 

"305 BARBIEEEEE," she captioned her post with a crown emoji, with the "305" being Miami’s zip code. "SEE YALL IN THE YAMSSSSSSS."

Reese marks the 10th player to join Unrivaled, which also includes Stewart, Collier, Chelsea Gray, Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd, Kelsey Plum, Rhyne Howard, Kahleah Copper and Jackie Young.

It is not uncommon for WNBA players to find supplemental pay in the offseason by playing elsewhere, usually finding a roster spot overseas. 

However, Unrivaled players will have equity and a vested interest in the league’s success. It will feature 30 of the top players in the game, playing on six 3-on-3 teams, and the league boasts "historic contract opportunities offering the highest average salary in women’s professional sports league history."

The league has its first and founding partner on board, Ally Financial, as well as other top athletes in various sports, including USWNT legends Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, NBA icons Carmelo Anthony and Steve Nash, and many top names in business, including Gary Vaynerchuck. 

"For years, women have relied heavily on off-court sponsorships for a majority of their income," Stewart said, via the New York Post. "With Unrivaled, we’re revolutionizing the game by prioritizing investments in our stars and ensuring their on-court performance is reflected in their pay."

For any league to have success, it needs to be popular, and Reese has already helped the WNBA expand its viewership more than what it has accomplished with the other women in this new league in prior seasons. 

Along with Caitlin Clark and other rookies with star status in college, Reese’s performances and comments post-game have led to talk show segments and much more debate on social media, leading to more eyes on the games. 

The WNBA All-Star Game also featured two rookies for the first time since 2014, as Clark and Reese showcased their skills as teammates instead of rivals for once. There were 3.44 million people watching the game, as Team WNBA defeated Team USA, 117-109. 

Reese understands just how popular she is already in the pros, but like the veteran stars around her, she is using her skills and platform to help grow another league – one where she will have equity alongside her fellow hoopers. 

Reese signed a four-year, $324,383 contract with the Chicago Sky when she was drafted seventh overall. She is making $73,439 for her rookie season.
