President Joe Biden gave a full-throated endorsement to Kamala Harris’ ability to take over for him as president if needed, speaking in his first press conference since his disastrous presidential debate against Donald Trump.
“She’s qualified to be president. That’s why I picked her,” the president said when asked about her preparation to take over the position from him. “From the very beginning, I made no bones about that. She is qualified to be.”
It was a surprising moment, with Biden strongly supporting Harris without pivoting back to tout his own accomplishment as he continues to state that he will stay in the race for president this year.
