Experienced Democratic strategists have informed the Washington Examiner that they think Biden can support Harris most effectively by remaining out of sight. Since he exited the race, he has made only a few public appearances, even amid rising tensions in the Middle East and severe storms affecting the South. During Wednesday&#8217;s press briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre could not confirm whether Biden would address these pressing issues but mentioned that he would welcome the 2023 World Series champion Texas Rangers to the White House on Thursday. &#8220;You\u2019ll see him tomorrow,&#8221; she stated, adding that there will be many opportunities to see him over the next five months as they have various public events planned.<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre had limited information about Biden\u2019s plans to campaign for Harris, indicating that it would be up to her team to decide. &#8220;You can expect that the president will support her as much as possible,&#8221; she said, noting their regular communication while refraining from elaborating further. The president is scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention on August 19 during its opening night; however, Jean-Pierre mentioned they were still deciding if he would remain in Chicago for its entirety or return early to Washington.<\/p>\n<p>There has been speculation regarding Biden&#8217;s feelings about being pushed off leading position on the Democratic ticket, especially with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi discussing behind-the-scenes pressure from Democrats for him to withdraw and hinting at concerns over his stamina. Jean-Pierre firmly dismissed this notion on Wednesday, asserting that Biden chose to step back from running for re-election voluntarily: &#8220;As I\u2019ve stated multiple times, this was his decision.&#8221; She emphasized it was about prioritizing what was best for the country rather than personal ambition and reiterated that he believed he could serve another four years when he initially decided to run again. &#8220;I\u2019m speaking for the president,&#8221; she concluded when asked about Pelosi\u2019s comments<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2645,"featured_media":2320738,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wheres-biden.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[32431,3620,32438],"class_list":["post-2320737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-2024-election","tag-biden","tag-kamala-harris"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/wheres-biden.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2645"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2320737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320737\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2320738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2320737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2320737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2320737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
