Vice President Kamala Harris showered President Biden with praise on Monday, highlighting his achievements during his time in office. She mentioned that Biden has accomplished more in his single term than most presidents have in two terms, commending his dedication and hard work. The event, which took place at the White House to honor NCAA championship teams, was a platform for Harris to express her gratitude towards Biden for his service to the nation.
After facing pressure to step aside, President Biden announced the suspension of his 2024 presidential campaign, citing the best interests of his party and the country. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve as president and endorsed Vice President Harris as his successor. In response, Harris accepted the endorsement and expressed her intention to earn the Democratic nomination for the 2024 presidential race.
Harris emphasized Biden’s honesty, integrity, faith, and love for the country, highlighting his commitment to the American people. She reassured attendees that Biden was recovering well after testing positive for COVID-19 and looked forward to resuming his duties. Harris also announced her plans to visit the campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, as she embarked on her presidential campaign journey.
While some Democrats hesitated to endorse Harris immediately, several high-profile endorsements came pouring in on Monday, signaling potential support for her candidacy. With no prominent challengers in the race so far, Harris could potentially rally the party around her as the nominee for the 2024 election. As the campaign trail heats up, Harris remains focused on connecting with voters and earning their trust.
