Pres. Biden speaks of the 'power of women' at National Medals of Arts and National Humanities awards

'Joe Biden gave a shout out to Kamala Harris at a ceremony honoring winners of the National Medals of Arts and National Humanities Medals, AP reports:

“I know the power of the women in this room to get things done” and boost the next generation, Biden told the crowd, which included singer and actress Queen Latifah and poet Joy Harjo. He added that female winners were “proving a woman can do anything a man can do, and then some, that includes being president of the United States of America”.

Biden’s nod to the vice president was met with a standing ovation, according to the AP. Hollywood heavyweights were in attendance, including Spike Lee, Steven Spielberg and Aaron Sorkin.'
