In her first public appearance since President Biden dropped his reelection bid and endorsed her, Vice President Harris began by expressing gratitude for Biden’s service to the nation and highlighting his legacy of accomplishments over the past three years. She delivered her latest remarks at a White House event celebrating the NCAA 2022-23 season champions.
As we previously reported, President Joe Biden recently tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, as confirmed by a memo from his doctor. Following the diagnosis, he made the decision to drop out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris as his successor.
While President Biden has issued a statement regarding his health, many people are still eager to know how he is doing. During Kamala’s first public appearance since the news broke, she provided an update on Biden’s condition, stating that he is “recovering fast and is looking forward to getting back on the road.” Beyond the health update, Harris took the opportunity to reflect on Joe Biden’s remarkable legacy. She went on to say,
Our president, Joe Biden, wanted to be here today, he is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks forward to getting back on the road,” Harris said during remarks during the White House’s NCAA Sports Day event. “Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history. In one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms in office.”
“I first came to know President Biden through his son, Beau. We worked together as attorneys general in our states, and back then, Beau would often tell me stories about his dad. He would talk about the kind of father, and the kind of man, that Joe Biden is,” she continued. “The qualities that Beau revered in his father are the same qualities that I have seen every day in our president: his honesty, his integrity, his commitment to his faith and his family, his big heart, and his love, deep love, of our country. And I am firsthand witness that every day, our President Joe Biden, fights for the America people, and we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation.”
