I’m Not Facing Any Serious Problems

President Joe Biden recently addressed concerns about his health and his plans to actively support Vice President Kamala Harris in her campaign. In an interview with CBS News, he dismissed speculative rumors about his well-being and expressed readiness to join the campaign trail.

Biden had made the decision to step aside as the Democratic presidential nominee last month, following a lackluster performance in a June debate. In this interview, he explained his earlier debacle. “I had a really, really bad day in that debate because I was sick, but I have no serious problem,” he elaborated, emphasizing that he is fit to campaign.

Turning his attention to Harris’s campaign, Biden highlighted the importance of Pennsylvania as a crucial battleground state. He mentioned, “I was talking to Governor [Josh] Shapiro, who’s a friend. We have to win Pennsylvania, my original home state.” Biden and Shapiro are currently planning a campaign tour in the state, underlining its significance in the electoral landscape.

Biden also indicated his willingness to campaign in other states, stating he would support Harris in any way that she finds most beneficial. “I’m going to do whatever Kamala thinks I can do to help the most,” he said, showing his commitment to aiding her efforts.

Despite stepping back from the presidential race, Biden has remained in the public eye. Earlier this month, for instance, he oversaw a significant prisoner swap involving Russia, which resulted in the release of at least 24 individuals. Among them were three Americans: Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, former US Marine Paul Whelan, and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva. This exchange concluded months of intricate negotiations.

Upon the Americans’ return to the United States, both Biden and Harris were present at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to welcome them home, showcasing their dedication to returning detained citizens.

During his conversation with CBS, Biden shared his aspirations regarding his legacy. He hopes that the American public will remember him for demonstrating that “democracy can work.” He reflected on recent achievements, stating, “It got us out of a pandemic. It produced the single greatest economic recovery in American history. We’re the most powerful economy in the world. We have more to do.”

In conclusion, President Biden is gearing up to transition from a candidate to a campaign advocate as he aims to energize support for Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential bid. His recent comments not only address health concerns but also highlight the strategic importance of Pennsylvania in the upcoming election. As Biden embarks on this new phase, his past achievements and ongoing initiatives continue to shape the Democratic narrative and reflect his broader vision for America.
