During a recent campaign stop in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden addressed the challenge faced by Vice President Kamala Harris in distinguishing herself from his administration. Biden emphasized that while Harris has been loyal to him, she will carve out her own path as president, just as he did during his time in office.
Biden highlighted the importance of each president forging their own way and expressed confidence in Harris's ability to do the same. He also criticized former President Donald Trump's perspective as outdated and dishonest.
The event in Philadelphia was a rare appearance for Biden, who has had a light campaign schedule this fall due to various urgent domestic and foreign crises. The president's presence on the trail could potentially overshadow Harris as she seeks to establish her own identity.
Biden praised Harris as a great vice president and expressed belief in her potential to be a great president as well. With less than three weeks until the election, details of Biden's campaign schedule leading up to November 5 remain undisclosed.
One potential deployment being considered is a tour through Pennsylvania with the state's governor, Josh Shapiro. Biden had previously hinted at such a swing in an interview weeks ago.
