Biden Takes Jabs At Trump While Championing Harris As 'A President Our Children Can Look Up To'

On Monday night, President Joe Biden fervently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), while also taking the opportunity to criticize former President Donald Trump.

What Happened: Biden lauded Harris’s accomplishments and potential, stating, “She’ll be a president our children can look up to. She’ll be a president respected by world leaders because she already is.”

He also backed her economic agenda, which includes initiatives to eradicate the housing shortage and broaden the child tax credit, The Hill reported on Tuesday.

In his address, Biden didn’t shy away from criticizing Trump.

He stated, “Crime will keep going down, when we put a prosecutor in the Oval Office instead of a convicted felon,” referring to Trump.

Despite the poignant undertone of the night, as Biden was ousted from the race by his own party just a month ago, he pledged to be “the best volunteer” for the Harris campaign and concluded his remarks with a touching quote: “America, I gave my best to you.”

Why It Matters: Biden’s endorsement of Harris comes at a critical time when recent polls indicate a shift in the political landscape, with Harris surging ahead of Trump in key battleground states.

Additionally, the endorsement followed a heartwarming moment at the DNC where Biden received a standing ovation that left many, including the President himself, visibly moved. This emotional display, coupled with his strong endorsement of Harris, could potentially sway undecided voters and solidify Harris’s lead in the upcoming election.
