Returning from a two-week beach vacation, President Joe Biden is teaming up with the Harris campaign to get the vice president elected this November.
Six weeks ago, Biden was forced out of the 2024 race and has been hiding since— only appearing here and there for a few appearances. However, he is taking on a new role as he closes out his presidential term in the White House as Vice President Kamala Harris’ popularity continues to sink among voters.
The Harris campaign announced that the 81-year-old president will shift from candidate to surrogate, telling reporters he’s excited to stump for Harris and drive home his “legacy.” Sources say Biden and Harris will “divide and conquer” on the campaign trail this fall.
This comes as Biden saw a slight poll increase since exiting the race. At the same time, Harris’ “honeymoon.” approval ratings begin to taper off.
Over the next five days, Biden will stop in states where he defeated former President Donald Trump in 2020, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Emphasizing the Keystone State, Biden will spend a lot of time there because he believes it's a place Harris has “got to win.”
