In her most recent speech, US Vice President Kamala Harris took a moment to honor President Joe Biden, following his recent announcement to forgo a second term in office. Standing in front of the iconic White House, Harris chose not to discuss her own aspirations for the Democratic nomination in the upcoming November election. Instead, she reflected on her close relationship with Biden's late son, Beau, who served as attorney general for Delaware while Harris held the same position in California.
Harris fondly recalled the qualities that Beau admired in his father, which she has witnessed firsthand during her time working alongside President Biden. She praised his honesty, integrity, and unwavering commitment to his faith, family, and country. Listing his numerous accomplishments during his first term as president, Harris went as far as to say they were unmatched in modern history, surpassing even those of leaders who served two terms.
In a separate post on social media platform X, Harris shared her excitement for the first full day of their campaign and announced her plans to visit their headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware. She ended her post with a rallying cry, expressing her confidence in their ability to win the election together. President Biden was quick to endorse Harris as his preferred successor, solidifying her position as the frontrunner in the race against current President Donald Trump.
Since Biden's announcement, several high-profile Democrats, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, have all thrown their support behind Harris. While other influential figures in the party, such as former President Barack Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have yet to make a formal endorsement.
There were initial hopes that the Democratic Party would have a competitive primary to showcase the strengths of various candidates. However, as the day has gone on, it has become increasingly apparent that no one can match Harris's influence and clout in the race. She delivered her speech at an event celebrating the accomplishments of the National College Athletic Association, where young athletes from across the country, some of whom will be competing in the upcoming Olympics, danced to the tune of Weather Report's classic song, "Birdland."
While President Biden was initially scheduled to attend the event, he is currently recovering from Covid-19 at his home in Delaware. Harris assured the audience that he is doing much better and is on the road to a speedy recovery, adding that he is eager to get back to campaigning. As Harris concluded her speech, she left the stage to the cheers and applause of the crowd, leaving no doubt that she is a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming election.
