President Joe Biden’s role at the Democratic National Convention next week may have been dramatically reshaped by his decision to end his bid for a second term, but his message about the stakes of this election will sound familiar, according to multiple Biden officials. The outgoing president will make the case for Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him when he delivers Monday’s keynote address, in part by touting their accomplishments during the last four years.
“The President is pleased at the momentum behind the campaign and looks forward to making his case,” an official said. Biden aides, though, believe the convention will continue to highlight the Biden-Harris record after he leaves in order to make a contrast with the Republican ticket. “Four years ago, America was reeling from a once-in-a-century pandemic, isolated on the world stage, crime was up, the middle class sidelined,” an official said.
