Next week, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden will embark on their first joint campaign appearance since Biden’s surprising decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race against Donald Trump. The event, scheduled for August 15 in Maryland, will focus on their efforts to reduce costs for Americans, according to the White House.
As Biden works to solidify his legacy during his final months in office, Harris has energized the Democratic Party with a series of high-profile rallies, impressive fundraising, and a resurgence in poll numbers. In contrast, Biden has maintained a low profile, with limited public engagements as he approaches the end of his presidency.
Although Biden has generally stayed out of the spotlight, he is set to make an appearance at the Democratic National Convention starting August 19 in Chicago. His involvement is intended to support Harris’s campaign and leverage his popularity in key battleground states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Earlier this week, Biden also addressed concerns about potential disruptions to the electoral process, reflecting on his worries about a peaceful transfer of power if Trump were to lose again. Additionally, Biden is focused on seeking a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with discussions set to resume on August 15, aligning with his joint appearance with Harris.
