During a news briefing on Tuesday, a reporter noted that Biden was the last to debate Trump and asked if he had shared any tips with Harris, who is set to face Trump in a week. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged the close relationship between Harris and Biden but refrained from giving specific details. She mentioned that they were together recently and highlighted Biden&#8217;s pride in choosing Harris as his running mate. However, it could be uncomfortable for Biden to offer advice since his own poor performance in this year&#8217;s first presidential debate led to the end of his campaign and elevated Harris within the Democratic party. Jean-Pierre emphasized their regular communication but did not elaborate further. The upcoming debate between Harris and Trump is scheduled for September 10 in Philadelphia, with ongoing discussions about microphone usage during the event\u2014Harris is advocating for microphones to remain on throughout the debate after they were cut off during previous exchanges at Biden&#8217;s request. While Biden performed well enough in two debates against Trump during the 2020 election cycle to secure victory, he is no longer a candidate himself now.
