President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held their first joint event since Biden exited the 2024 race and endorsed her to take his place atop the Democratic ticket.

The two walked out together to cheers to deliver remarks on stage at Prince George’s County Community College in Maryland about the economy and what their administration has done to alleviate costs for Americans.

That includes the administration’s announcement earlier Thursday that the Department of Health and Human Services reached an agreement on price negotiations for 10 commonly used drugs that they say will save Medicare enrollees $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs when the new prices go into effect in 2026.

“We know it is not just about health care, it is about your dignity,” Biden said of the policy. “It’s about peace of mind. It’s about security. It’s about taking care of your family. It’s about giving folks just a little bit more breathing room.”

      Bidens Trump’s kryptonite. He can’t stop talking about the guy. This donald dump stuff is perfect. He needs to stay on the trail and keep Trump off message campaigning against the wrong candidate.

        no he’s not his kryptonite, are you kidding? he was his ticket.

        he can’t stop talking about biden because he was leading Biden in every single poll. now that Harris started to surpass him especially in key states, he’s lamenting his dream campaign against biden.

        also for him to keep campaigning against biden you don’t need to bring him to rallies. he already does it anyways. he was still talking about hillary just recently. and he even brought up obama again. the dude can’t get over anything anyway.

            i got your point. I’m saying without him you still get all the benefits, and with him not only do you not get anything extra, but you lose points if anything.
