US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris made their first joint public appearance since Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race. The pair took the stage at a community college in Maryland to discuss the economy as well as touting the administration’s new plan to lower prescription drug prices for Americans on Medicare. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made an upbeat show of unity Thursday as they held their first joint public event since Harris replaced the president as the Democratic Party’s candidate in November’s election. Chants of “Thank you Joe!” rang out from the audience at a community college in the Maryland suburbs outside Washington.

Biden announced a major deal to reduce medication prices for retirees on social welfare programs.

But the biggest star was Biden’s vice president who has surprised many by uniting the Democratic Party and surging in the polls against Republican Donald Trump since her abrupt entry into the White House race. “She can make one hell of a president,” Biden said of Harris. Shortly after the joint appearance, Trump delivered rambling remarks from his New Jersey golf club, before taking questions from a handful of journalists.
