Vice President Harris and President Biden will make their first joint campaign trip next week since he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, the White House announced Friday morning.
Seeking to burnish his legacy in his final months in office and support the new Democratic ticket, the two will travel to Maryland Thursday to "discuss the progress they are making to lower costs for the American people," the White House said. Inflation remains a weak spot for Democrats ahead of November's election.
Harris has fired up the Democratic Party since ascending to the top spot on the ticket after Mr. Biden announced he was leaving the race following a disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump that highlighted concerns about his age and mental acuity.
The first female, Black and South Asian vice president in U.S. history has held a series of packed rallies, pulled in record fundraising amounts and wiped out Trump's lead in the polls.
