The White House confirmed yesterday, January 2, that outgoing President Barack Obama will give a farewell speech on January 10 at McCormick Place in his hometown of Chicago.

The event is open to the public, but guests will still need tickets to attend. Tickets will be distributed at McCormick starting this weekend. However, the White House has not revealed exactly when the tickets will be distributed.

For those who do not get tickets, they can still watch the event via livestream on the White House's Facebook page or website.

This speech is considered the last opportunity for President Obama to review the achievements of his administration after two terms, before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20.

President Obama revealed that he has only just begun drafting his speech, but he intends it to be his thanks to those who have stood by him throughout the years. He also wants to commit to a smooth transition of power. President Obama added that he will share some thoughts on the future of the country.

President Obama’s farewell speech has attracted the attention of the online community with many speculations about the content of this speech. “I want to hear more about his future plans. He is still young and can contribute a lot to the country,” commented a netizen named Krishna Tateneni.

Another netizen named David Narain shared: “I think we want the president to reconnect with the original messages of hope and renewal, and even if a different political party is going to run the country, we still need that message of hope.”

However, some people think that President Obama may not mention that issue in his farewell speech.
