President Joe Biden took to his X handle to share words of praise for Vice President Kamala Harris, applauding her leadership and character.
Reflecting on her journey and the role she played in the 2020 campaign, Biden expressed deep admiration for Harris, calling her a partner and public servant who embodies integrity, courage, and unwavering commitment to the American people.
Biden spoke about the historic nature of Harris’s vice presidency, recognizing her as a symbol of what is possible when led by values and a powerful vision for a just, inclusive nation.
He shared that selecting Harris was the first choice he made as the 2020 Democratic nominee, calling it the best decision of his campaign.
