President Biden praised Vice President Harris Wednesday for being "a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character" after she conceded defeat to President-elect Trump in the 2024 election.

The big picture: Biden said in a statement after Harris pledged to help with a peaceful transfer of power to Trump while vowing to "never give up" fighting, "What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire."

What he's saying: Biden praised Harris for stepping up under "extraordinary circumstances" to lead "a historic campaign that embodied what's possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans."

He noted that selecting Harris as vice president was "the very first decision" that he made when he became the nominee for president in 2020.
"It was the best decision I made. Her story represents the best of America's story," he said. "And as she made clear today, I have no doubt that she'll continue writing that story," Biden added.

Statement from President Joe Biden

What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire.

She’s been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character.

Under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign that embodied what’s possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans.

As I’ve said before, selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became the nominee for president in 2020. It was the best decision I made. Her story represents the best of America’s story. And as she made clear today, I have no doubt that she’ll continue writing that story.

She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She will continue to be a champion for all Americans. Above all, she will continue to be a leader our children will look up to for generations to come as she puts her stamp on America’s future.

OR, unless he uses the powers the SC gave him to protect the felon's "enemy within" crowd, and more.
