Highlighting\u2062 the importance of individual leadership, Biden stated, \u2063\u201cEvery president has to cut their\u2064 own path,\u201d drawing on \u2063his own\u2063 experience in distinguishing his presidency from that \u2063of Barack Obama. \u2062Harris has \u200dvowed to offer a &#8220;new way forward,&#8221; but some of her recent statements have caused uncertainty about how distinct her presidency would be from Biden&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s remarks appear\u2062 to aim at reframing\u2064 the narrative around Harris&#8217;s campaign, particularly in light of the \u200bclose competition in Pennsylvania, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rnc-launches-early-voting-initiative-in-new-york\/\" title=\"RNC starts early voting drive in NY.\">crucial\u2063 swing state<\/a> \u200cfor the upcoming election. Despite Harris&#8217;s assertion that\u200b she would not approach issues differently than \u2063Biden, Biden \u2062emphasized her unique\u200c perspective on national challenges. Throughout his speech, Biden \u200dalso\u2064 criticized former President Donald \u2064Trump, asserting that he would be afraid to debate Harris again, suggesting that Trump \u200bhas a history \u200dof failure.<\/p>\n<p>As\u200b the election approaches,\u200c both Harris \u200cand Biden are looking \u2062to solidify their support in Pennsylvania, with Biden underscoring his longstanding relationship\u2062 with the city and its significance to his political career. The speech resonated with the crowd, who\u200d expressed their enthusiasm with chants in support of Biden.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biden says Kamala Harris will &lsquo;cut her own path&rsquo; if elected president<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1836543\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Joe Biden\">Joe Biden<\/a> promised his old running mate will chart her own legacy if elected during a campaign speech in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/philadelphia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Philadelphia\">Philadelphia<\/a>, a contrast from his remarks just a few days prior.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Every president has to cut their own path.

Donald Trump&rsquo;s perspective is old and failed and, quite frankly, thoroughly and totally dishonest.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Biden has a long history in Philadelphia, which is located just a 30-minute drive from his Delaware residence. Several of his children and grandchildren have attended the local Ivy League school, the University of Pennsylvania, and he has visited the City of Brotherly Love frequently as president. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, the big reason Philadelphia matters now is because it&rsquo;s located in Pennsylvania, perhaps the single most important swing state of the 2024 election. Trump was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3189378\/trump-town-hall-dance-party-rallygoers-collapse\/\" title=\"in the area\">in the area<\/a> for an event Monday night, and both Trump and Harris have built large campaign operations in the state. <\/p>\n<p>Trump has an extremely narrow 0.3% polling edge in Pennsylvania, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/president\/general\/2024\/pennsylvania\/trump-vs-harris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"per\">per<\/a> the <em>RealClearPolitics <\/em>voting average, something Biden and Harris hope to overcome in the campaign&rsquo;s final weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I represented Delaware, but I wouldn&rsquo;t have gotten elected without Philadelphia, and that&rsquo;s the truth,&rdquo; Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>Biden spent much of the rest of his speech attacking Trump and his policies. He said Trump was afraid to debate Harris again because he knows he&rsquo;d lose again.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He inherits $100 million and he went bankrupt how many times? I can&rsquo;t keep track,&rdquo; Biden said. &ldquo;He bankrupted the casino in Atlantic City &mdash; that&rsquo;s pretty hard to do. How is that possible? I thought the house always won. Trump was not only a loser 2020, he&rsquo;s a loser at everything he does.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The crowd broke into &ldquo;Thank you, Joe!&rdquo; and &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not going back!&rdquo; cheers as he spoke.<\/p>\n<p>Biden said there are fewer illegal border crossings today than the day he left office, though that&rsquo;s mostly due to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3026575\/biden-executive-action-stop-border-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"executive action\">executive action<\/a> he took late in his term after the numbers spiked for much of his presidency. <\/p>\n<p>He derided Trump&rsquo;s economic plans for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3189487\/donald-trump-defends-tariffs-takeaways-bloomberg-economic-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"new tariffs\">new tariffs<\/a> as a &ldquo;sales tax.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;According to all the economists, if your sales tax were to in fact pass, the average family would have an increase in their cost of $4,000 a year,&rdquo; Biden said. &ldquo;Donald Trump&rsquo;s not running for you, he&rsquo;s running for himself.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Biden continued the new way forward theme toward the end of his 20-minute speech, summarizing Trump&rsquo;s positions as a host of ideas from decades gone by. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Trump hides all his racism &mdash; or he used to, but now he&rsquo;s just out front,&rdquo; Biden said. &ldquo;He has the same ideas on race as the 1930s.
