Biden teams up with Harris on campaign trail for 1st time since dropping re-election bid against Trump
Six weeks after he ended his re-election campaign amid rising calls from his own party to drop out of the race, President Biden returns to the campaign trail for the first time on Monday.
It will be the first of a “robust” schedule of campaign appearances by the president on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris over the next two months, a White House official tells Fox News.
“President Biden will be leaning in heavily over the next several months to finish the job,” White House communications director Ben LaBolt said.
Biden will team up with Harris, whom he endorsed and who replaced him atop the Democrats’ 2024 ticket, at a Labor Day event in Pittsburgh, a union stronghold and the biggest city in the western half of the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
