Joe Biden says Kamala Harris will “cut her own path” away from him
President Joe Biden said that Vice President Kamala Harris would “cut her own path” as president during a Harris campaign event in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Biden, who dropped out the presidential election and backed Harris as his replacement on July 21, told supporters at Philadelphia’s Sheet Metal Workers Local 19 Training Center that he was “loyal” to former President Barack Obama while serving as vice president but had made the presidency his own after being elected in 2020.
The president said that Harris had also served as a loyal vice president and predicted that she would offer a “fresh and new” perspective to the office if she defeats former President Donald Trump, whom he argued was “totally dishonest” and pushing an “old and failed” perspective.
“Every president has to cut their own path,” Biden said. “That’s what I did. I was loyal to Barack Obama, but I cut my own path as president. That’s what Kamala’s going to do. She’s been loyal so far, but she’s going to cut her own path.”
“Kamala will take the country in her own direction,” he continued. “And that’s one of the most important differences in this election. Kamala’s perspective on our problems will be fresh and new. Donald Trump’s perspective is old and failed and, quite frankly, thoroughly [and] totally dishonest.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
