President Biden recently made a statement indicating his support for Vice President Kamala Harris by campaigning for her. This announcement came after Biden returned from a trip to Austin, Texas, where he addressed Congress's need to implement significant changes to the Supreme Court.
During a conversation with a source at the White House, Biden confirmed that he had already begun campaigning for Vice President Harris. He also mentioned ongoing discussions regarding potential running mates for Harris and emphasized his endorsement of her as the party's nominee.
At an event commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act at the LBJ Presidential Library, Biden expressed concerns about recent Supreme Court decisions that he believes have undermined civil rights principles. He specifically cited cases such as the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the establishment of presidential immunity in Trump v. United States as examples of extreme judicial actions.
Biden called for reforms to the Supreme Court, including the implementation of term limits, a new code of conduct, and a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity. He argued that these changes are necessary to restore trust in the courts and maintain the system of checks and balances essential to democracy.
The president's remarks reflect his commitment to addressing what he perceives as a misuse of power within the judicial system and his support for Vice President Harris in her political endeavors.
