The White House announced the “historic” reduction in the price of ten medications for seniors, achieved through negotiations with pharmaceutical companies. This is a success for the Biden administration. The U.S. President and his Vice President took the opportunity to appear together, aiming to bolster Kamala Harris’s campaign for the November election.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, side by side on stage. This marks the first time since the Democratic president was pressured to withdraw from the presidential race to make way for his vice president. It was an opportunity for him to reaffirm his support. “I have an incredible partner. And she will be one heck of a president!” he declared.
Joe Biden is campaigning for Kamala Harris. It’s a strong signal to display party unity. Behind the scenes, however, the president’s close allies report that he is still angry with some top Democratic officials who abandoned him, including Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. Even so, in public, he prefers humor.
“I’ve served in the Senate for 270 years! At first, they told me I was too young because I had just turned 29. And today, they tell me I’m too old!”
The president received warm applause from the crowd and praise from Kamala Harris. “I could spend the afternoon talking about the person standing next to me, our extraordinary president Joe Biden!” said the Oval Office candidate.
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden jointly announced the reduction in the prices of certain medications, following the release of positive economic and inflation figures. These are good news items on which the Vice President can capitalize for her own campaign, with just under three months remaining before the presidential election.
