Vice President Harris and President Biden will make their first joint campaign trip next week since he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, the White House announced Friday morning.

Politico reported that Harris now wants Mr. Biden’s support in battleground states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan, where he’s still popular, especially with older white voters.

But he would ensure that the spotlight stayed on Harris, embarking mainly on a limited campaign schedule in the fall, the outlet said.

    Harris - Walz will have several surrogates to campaign for them. Barack and Michelle Obama, Joe and Jill Biden, Josh Shapiro, Gretchen Whitmer, Tony Evers, Roy Cooper, Pete Buttigieg, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Mark Kelly and Sanders.

    There is no equivalent group of surrogates for Trump - Vance. Not even close.
