President Joe Biden has expressed no regrets about Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee for president following his decision not to seek reelection, as stated by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during a press briefing on Wednesday.
Jean-Pierre emphasized that President Biden stands by his decision and believes that Vice President Harris is highly qualified for the role, citing her extensive experience as a senator, attorney general of California, and her tenure in the administration. She described Harris as a critical partner to the president, highlighting their collaborative efforts that have led to a record of accomplishments.
The press secretary mentioned that President Biden is proud of his decision and has been vocal in his support for Vice President Harris. She noted that the president would be addressing the American people from the Oval Office later in the day to further communicate his thoughts on the matter.
Despite the primary process being primarily focused on Biden's reelection campaign, prominent Democrats have swiftly rallied around Vice President Harris, showing their support for her candidacy.
