In his first remarks since he ended his presidential campaign, President Joe Biden spoke remotely to campaign staff and supporters as Kamala Harris joined headquarters in Delaware to launch her bid for the Democratic nomination.
“I know yesterday’s news was surprising and, it was hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing,” said Biden, who had announced that he was ending his re-election campaign and throwing his support behind Harris in the race against Donald Trump.
“The name is changed on top of the ticket, but the mission hasn’t changed at all,” he told supporters in Wilmington on Monday. “And by the way, I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to be out there to campaign with her, with Kamala. I’m going to be working like hell.”
Biden, who has been isolating after being diagnosed with Covid-19 last week, promised to be “fully engaged” with Harris’s campaign as he finishes out the next six months of his administration.
