Vice President Harris and President Biden will make their first joint campaign trip next week since he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, the White House announced Friday morning.

Politico reported that Harris now wants Mr. Biden’s support in battleground states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan, where he’s still popular, especially with older white voters.

But he would ensure that the spotlight stayed on Harris, embarking mainly on a limited campaign schedule in the fall, the outlet said.

    I don’t know about all this. Harris greatest asset so far has been the fact that she’s not Biden. If I was her I would stay as far away as possible to give the public the best chance possible of forgetting both him and how linked they are. The feeling that this is a new, fresh campaign is the reason behind the momentum. Let’s not halt it, please?

    But what do I know, I’m not a campaign strategist.

      My exact thought. People where I live (not the US) are RABIDLY anti Biden. If it reaches as far as rural maritime Canada, I shudder to think how it’s like in actual America. There are cars that drive around here with “Let’s Go Brandon” all over the hood.

      Seeing that she doesn’t have any policy of her own, she is Biden.
