Biden to Campaign for Harris in Key Swing States

U.S. President Joe Biden announced in a CBS interview that he would campaign for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, a crucial state for the upcoming presidential election. Biden will also support Harris in other states, and Governor Tim Walz has been chosen as her running mate.

U.S. President Joe Biden confirmed in a Sunday broadcast interview with CBS that he will actively campaign for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state for the November election. This marks Biden's first public comments since his July decision to withdraw from the race against Republican Donald Trump due to concerns about U.S. democracy's future.

Recent polls by the New York Times and Siena College show Harris leading Trump by four points in Pennsylvania and two other critical swing states, Wisconsin and Michigan. When queried about his campaign plans, Biden responded affirmatively.

Biden stated that he and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro are organizing a campaign tour in Pennsylvania and will promote Harris in additional states. He expressed full support for Harris' selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice-presidential running mate, praising Walz's qualities and suitability for the role. Biden's withdrawal followed a poor debate performance and concerns from Democratic colleagues about his impact on their races. In an earlier excerpt of the interview, Biden voiced doubts about a peaceful power transition if Trump were to lose.
