President Joe Biden acknowledges Kamala Harris’s need to distinguish herself from his administration

President Joe Biden made a rare campaign stop on Tuesday and addressed the challenge Vice President Kamala Harris faces in distinguishing herself from his administration. Biden emphasized that Harris has been loyal to him so far, but she will forge her own path as president. He also criticized Donald Trump, calling his perspective old, failed, and dishonest.

The comments highlight the balancing act Biden and Harris are navigating as she tries to differentiate herself from the current president. Biden’s campaign schedule has been light this fall due to various crises requiring his attention, but also to avoid overshadowing Harris. The event in Philadelphia was one of the few political appearances Biden has made since Harris secured the Democratic nomination.

Biden, who has served as both vice president and president, expressed confidence in Harris’s abilities, stating that she has been a great vice president and will be a great president. With less than three weeks until the election, details about Biden’s campaign schedule remain unclear, but a tour through Pennsylvania with the state’s governor is under consideration. Stay tuned for updates on Biden’s role in campaigning for Harris ahead of Election Day.
