President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held their first joint event since Biden exited the 2024 race and endorsed her to take his place atop the Democratic ticket.

The two walked out together to cheers to deliver remarks on stage at Prince George’s County Community College in Maryland about the economy and what their administration has done to alleviate costs for Americans.

That includes the administration’s announcement earlier Thursday that the Department of Health and Human Services reached an agreement on price negotiations for 10 commonly used drugs that they say will save Medicare enrollees $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs when the new prices go into effect in 2026.

“We know it is not just about health care, it is about your dignity,” Biden said of the policy. “It’s about peace of mind. It’s about security. It’s about taking care of your family. It’s about giving folks just a little bit more breathing room.”

        When did the sanctification of Joe Biden start anyways? He’s by far the worst example of a leftist in existence.

        He’s one of the biggest proponents of the murderous drug war and the police militarization that came with it. Nobody since Nixon has caused more damage with anti drug policies than Biden. He should have never been the nominee or president. Just like Hillary should have never run.

        I’ve been watching Biden since the 80s, So it’s funny looking at 2024 and hearing people blindly defend him and his character.

        Nobody here is saying Trump should ever be an option, we’re all left, but Biden is barely that.
