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's 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. That’s all. Look, I believe health care should be a right and not a privilege in America."
Harris spoke first at the event and took a moment to praise Biden for his work on the issue, as the crowd broke out into chants of "Thank you, Joe!"

They bused in government hacks who have him to thank for their $150,000 a year salaries.
Well they got the “...you Joe!” part right ...not so sure about the “Thank...” part.
All staged.
That's like thanking someone for hitting you in the knee with a hammer.
Prince George’s County: 90% vote for Biden in 2020. More than 90% vote for Hillary in 2016.
Obviously.
I lived in PGC in the 50s and 60s. Today it is about the blackest county in or around DC.....crime there is so bad that GS level workers at the Naval Intel center there or the Census bureau all mass transit into and out of work and they stay there all day. As one of my government sponsors told me, “you don’t wanna be around here after dark.”
ABC pushing the narrative of their Dem masters. Have they ever reported about the crowd chanting, “Trump, Trump, Trump” when he enters a rally? (No!)...
That’s all they have. It’s pathetic. Now, on the other hand, Donald Trump attracts ordinary Americans at his rallies.
From what I just read it was a merde extravaganza..

When he started working for American Tobacco Company, Bernays was given the objective of increasing Lucky Strike sales among women, who, for the most part, had formerly avoided smoking. The first strategy was to persuade women to smoke cigarettes instead of eating. Bernays began by promoting the ideal of thinness itself, using photographers, artists, newspapers, and magazines to promote the special beauty of thin women. Medical authorities were found to promote the choice of cigarettes over sweets. Home-makers were cautioned that keeping cigarettes on hand was a social necessity.[43]
Torches of Freedom
Main article: Torches of Freedom
The first campaign succeeded; women smoked more cigarettes; American Tobacco Company brought in more revenue; and Lucky Strike led the market in growth. But a taboo remained on women smoking in public. Bernays consulted with psychoanalyst Abraham Brill, a student of Freud’s, who reported to him that cigarettes represented “torches of freedom” for women whose feminine desires were increasingly suppressed by their role in the modern world.[44]
Bernays wrote:[45]
Because it should appear as news with no division of the publicity, actresses should be definitely out. On the other hand, if young women who stand for feminism—someone from the Women’s Party, say—could be secured, the fact that the movement would be advertised too, would not be bad. . . While they should be goodlooking, they should not be too ‘model-y.’ Three for each church covered should be sufficient. Of course they are not to smoke simply as they come down the church steps. They are to join in the Easter parade, puffing away.
The march went as planned, as did the ensuing publicity, with ripples of women smoking prominently across the country.[46][47]
All staged.
Looks like a DEI crowd. About 1 Caucasian for every 50 “other” races.
Did she mention their food costs are up 25% since they took over?
I expect that the thanks was for pulling out.
The audience was made to wear shock collars to make them chant in unison.
“All staged”
Yes and judging by this title ABC went right along.
They mentioned almost nothing about the economy, just medicine. The economy is their fatal flaw.
