Biden calls in to Harris campaign meeting as president avoids cameras for another day
SUMMARY
President Joe Biden, who has been sidelined by COVID-19, called into Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign meeting on Monday but did not appear in person. Speaking through a phone call, Biden congratulated Harris, affirmed his support for her, and endorsed her upcoming presidential campaign. He acknowledged the surprise and difficulty of his decision to step down but reaffirmed it was the right choice. Biden, still recuperating in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, has faced criticism and speculation from Republicans about his ability to continue his term. His doctor reports that his symptoms are improving, and Biden is expected to return to full duties soon. Harris is positioned to secure the Democratic nomination as the convention approaches.
