WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden was minutes into his first address to a joint session of Congress. His prepared remarks called for him to say that he was “asking the vice president to lead” the effort to pass his infrastructure plan.
But when Biden got to the line, he shifted to face Kamala Harris, who was sitting on the dais above him, and added the phrase “if she would.”
“Of course,” Harris replied, before Biden turned around and signaled his confidence in her by saying, “because I know it will get done.”
