The Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, launched her election campaign tonight (between Monday and Tuesday) from the headquarters in Delaware that until yesterday belonged to the President of the United States, Joe Biden. In her first speech as a candidate, Harris promised to win the nomination of the Democratic Party, and made the first campaign promises Her – background checks for obtaining a gun license and the ban on the sale of automatic weapons. She said that when Congress approves the law establishing these rights, Harris added that the goal of her presidency will be to strengthen the American middle class.
The Reuters news agency reported from one of Harris’ aides that she is expected to meet with Netanyahu at the White House during the coming week. It was also reported that US President Joe Biden is expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday at the White House, an American official said. It is possible that Netanyahu will also meet with Trump on Thursday.
At the same time, support for Harris increased significantly. The number of Democratic members of the House of Representatives who support Harris increased to 186, the number of senators to 41 and the governors – to 23. According to a survey conducted by the AP news agency, Harris reached 2,579 Democratic delegates, while the number of delegates required to officially receive the presidential nomination is 1,976.
Harris sent a message to Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump and said: “My intention is to win the nomination and win. We believe in a bright future, this is not the future that Donald Trump is fighting for – he will weaken the middle class and set us back.”
US President, and former candidate in the current race for the White House, Joe Biden spoke publicly for the first time tonight since announcing his decision not to seek re-election. Biden, whose voice has not been heard for five days since contracting the corona virus, called a few hours ago the election headquarters in Delaware, which has now become the headquarters of Harris, and wished his deputy well. His voice was heard on the loudspeaker, and a slight chill could be noticed.
Biden, in his words, referred to the war in Gaza and showed determination to end his term with a “clean slate” for his replacement, or to protect his heart – for his Republican replacement. “I will help you in the campaign and work as hard as I can. I will not be on the ticket, but I will be fully involved. There are six months left in my presidency, and I intend to continue working in all areas,” said the president, addressing the issue of the war in Gaza. “I intend to bring the war to an end In Gaza, I will work on this and the return of the abductees with both sides, with the Israelis and with the Palestinians. I am not going anywhere. I am behind you,” said the president.
When Biden was still on the line, Harris said: “Joe I know you’re listening, we love you, we love Joe and Jill so much, they’re like family to us.” Joe responded: “It’s mutual, I’m behind you.”
