Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Thursday will make their first joint trip since the US president dropped out of the 2024 election, delivering a major economic announcement aimed at boosting Harris’s White House hopes.
Biden, 81, and Harris, 59, will put on a show of unity at an event in Maryland, near Washington, less than three weeks after their seismic switch-up at the top of the Democratic Party ticket to face Donald Trump.
Biden indicated on Wednesday that the announcement would involve his core policy of reducing drug prices, while the White House said they would unveil steps to “lower costs for the American people.”
It comes a day before Vice President Harris is due to finally set out her own economic agenda on Friday, and ahead of her star turn at the Democratic National Convention next week.
