President Joe Biden gave his first nationwide address since dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.
During his remarks, Biden praised vice president Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee.
“I’d like to thank our great vice president Kamala Harris,” he said. “She’s experienced. She’s tough. She’s capable. She’s been an incredible partner to me, and a leader for our country.”
The Democratic campaign appears re-energized since Biden pulled out of the race on Sunday, with Harris quickly securing support from more than 64 percent of party delegates.
Harris has already hit the campaign trail. On Wednesday, the vice president spoke to attendees at the biannual Zeta Phi Beta sorority national convention in IndianapolisIn her remarks, she warned potential voters about the dangers of another Donald Trump presidency.
“Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear and hate?” she asked.
