President Joe Biden and Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders are scheduled to embark on a joint visit to New Hampshire on Tuesday to advocate for the administration's initiatives aimed at reducing the cost of prescription drugs, as confirmed by a White House official.
During the visit, President Biden is anticipated to drop by the state's coordinated campaign office, which is actively working towards the election of Vice President Kamala Harris and other New Hampshire Democrats in the upcoming November elections. New Hampshire, a state leaning towards the Democratic party in the presidential race, is also witnessing a closely contested governor's race.
Since withdrawing from the presidential race in July, President Biden has been notably absent from traditional campaign events. Instead, he has been concentrating on official White House travel to key battleground states to promote various popular policy initiatives. The upcoming joint appearance with Sanders, who emerged victorious in the Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire on two occasions, is a part of this strategy.
Despite being former rivals with differing stances on healthcare, Biden and Sanders have previously collaborated on events focused on addressing the issue of prescription drug costs. This joint effort underscores their shared commitment to tackling this critical issue that impacts millions of Americans.
