(The Guardian) Harris campaign slowballs Biden's offers to campaign – report
In the final days of the 2024 election, Kamala Harris’s campaign has slowballed Joe Biden’s offers to campaign for his vice-president, Axios reports. “President Biden wants to campaign for Vice President Harris in the last days before the election,” the outlet writes. “Harris’ campaign keeps responding: We’ll get back to you, three people familiar with the dynamic told Axios.”
Although it’s grateful for Biden’s service, Harris’s team is wary of aligning her with the increasingly unpopular president. “He’s a reminder of the last four years, not the new way forward,” a person familiar with the situation told Axios.
Yesterday, Biden began campaigning for Harris on his own, attending union events in Pittsburgh. There, he reportedly called Republican White House nominee Donald Trump “a loser as a candidate and … a loser as a man”, among other remarks.
Biden also called said the choice between Trump and Harris in the 5 November election was one of “decency versus lack of decency”. Members of the president’s team told Axios they believe Harris’s campaign is underestimating the current president’s appeal among white, working-class communities in the state where he was born.
