Joe Biden returns to the White House as Kamala Harris continues to campaign

President Joe Biden returned to the White House on Tuesday after an eventful week that he spent completely out of the public eye. However, he made headlines after deciding to drop out of the race for re-election. Meanwhile, as Voice of America correspondent Anita Powell reports, Vice President Harris continued the campaign, remaining the only expected Democratic candidate seeking the party's nomination for the presidential election.

The White House has been quiet since President Biden's decision to withdraw from the race.

The president returned to the White House on Tuesday, after spending almost a week in isolation due to being affected by Covid. Vice President Kamala Harris meanwhile kicked off her campaign in Wisconsin.

Senator JD Vance, the Republican nominee for vice president, decided to attack both Democrats that same day.


"History will remember Joe Biden as one of the worst presidents of the United States of America. But Kamala Harris is a million times worse. She supported Joe Biden's every failure and lied about his mental fitness to serve as president," Mr. Vance said.

In Washington, Secretary of State Antony Blinken praised Ms. Harris' role in American foreign policy.

But he emphasized the many jobs President Biden has ahead of him, even as Ms. Harris is campaigning to become President.

 

"He is intensely focused on the work that remains over these next six months to continue the efforts, the work that we have done, particularly to bring peace to the Middle East, ending the war in Gaza," Mr. Blinken said.

Analysts have the same attitude.

"There are still six months left in this presidential term and there are still real challenges, both in the country, in terms of reducing the cost of living as well as challenges abroad. Efforts to achieve a ceasefire and peace in the Middle East and efforts to oppose Russia's war in Ukraine are still ongoing," says Navin Nayak, President of the Center for Action Fund for American Progress.

This situation also puts foreign leaders in an unusual position, as is the case with the Prime Minister of Israel who this week will meet with President Biden, Vice President Harris and former President Trump.

"I think Biden has a problem because foreign leaders know he won't be President in a few months. They will be reluctant to make deals with him because they know that whoever comes after even if Ms. Harris wins, she will likely have her own foreign policy team and her own agenda. "On the other hand, I think some foreign leaders will want to get things done quickly with President Biden because they're not sure what's going to happen next," says Jeremi Suri of the University of Texas. in Austin.

For the second time this month, President Biden will address the nation from the Oval Office. Tonight, he will provide more clarification on why he made the decision to retire.
