Does Joe Biden want Kamala Harris to lose?
On Friday, two minutes after Kamala Harris walked on stage at a campaign event in Detroit, Joe Biden decided to do something he has never done as president: he walked into the White House press briefing room. Cable news shifted immediately to the moment, with Biden chuckling as he introduced himself to the media, touted the jobs report and took questions. The moment was astonishing not just because Biden has operated at such a remove from the public eye since he was replaced as the Democratic nominee, but because it seemed intentionally designed to distract from his vice president and remind everyone that he’s still around, and yes, for all his struggles, still technically president.
