"SNIP..........

“President Biden gave a demonstration on Monday that the Democratic Party now belongs to Vice President Kamala Harris, stepping to the microphone at a campaign event in Pittsburgh to introduce his No. 2 rather than taking the speaking slot of honor for himself,” the New York Times reports.

Said Biden: “Folks, we’ve made a lot of progress, and Kamala and I are going to build on that progress, and she’s going to build on it. I’ll be on the sidelines, but I’ll do everything I can to help.”

He knows his role is to support Kamala in this race. That doesn’t diminish him in any way.
