Joe Biden’s speech was scheduled after Kamala Harris’ speech. As journalists from the Washington Post and New York Times noted, Harris’s speech lacked the same vigor, and some began to leave the room after listening to the vice president, but not before Biden’s speech ended.
Biden focused his speech on Kamala Harris’ campaign. “He will be a good president,” he assured the crowd. He then mentioned Donald Trump and criticized him. For opposing laws passed by the current Biden administration.
Biden also criticized the so-called Project 2025, a plan prepared by Trump’s supporters in the first months of his term. Both Biden and Harris portray the agenda as radical and indicative of the extremism of Trump’s movement.
At one point, Biden also mentioned his age.
“I served 270 years in the Senate,” he joked, adding that when he was first elected senator at age 29, “people thought he was too young.” “Now they think I’m too old,” he added.
Behind the scenes of Joe Biden’s unprecedented decision
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the New York Times gave a behind-the-scenes look at Joe Biden’s resignation from running for re-election.
As of July 20, Joe Biden was convinced that he was the Democratic Party’s best candidate for president and was not going to drop out of the re-election race. But over the next few hours, something finally began to change – as the “NYT” recounts, revealing behind the scenes of the decision that rocked American politics.
– If we decide to do this, what will we say? – The president reportedly asked his colleagues when he would consider abandoning the race for the White House.
Many in the Democratic Party have begun urging Joe Biden to drop out of the re-election race after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump. The debate took place at the end of June. Over the next three weeks, Biden heeded several calls to give way to younger politicians in his party and hold primaries to choose his successor to the White House. Ultimately, Biden dropped out of the presidential race on July 21.
