Looks like Kamala Harris said the sweetest thing to Joe Biden at the DNC

Eagle-eyed viewers of the Democratic National Convention caught a touching moment between President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris right after Biden delivered a bittersweet speech to a crowd in Chicago on Monday night.

Harris had just finished clapping with her husband, Doug Emhoff, and first lady Jill Biden, when she walked over to embrace the president and say something inaudible to him. Although their conversation was muted by the raucous applause from the audience, some lip-reads shed light on what Harris was saying to him.

“Part of what Harris could be seen saying to Biden as he embraced him on stage was, ‘I love you, Joe, I do,'” wrote CNN senior reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere on X, formerly Twitter, a video-based politics channel. The recount ended with Harris saying, “I love you so much.”

Although neither has confirmed the words, many social media users claim that Harris also told Biden, “You made me cry.” Their interaction followed a landmark speech in which Biden, who dropped out of the race in July, handed Harris his proverbial back.

“Choosing Kamala was the first decision I made before running for office, and it was the best decision of my entire career,” he said. “He’s tough, he’s experienced and he has tremendous integrity. He will be a president we can all be proud of.

Biden performed disastrously in June’s debate against Donald Trump and failed to convince voters with a series of public missteps over the coming weeks, ultimately seeing his poll numbers plummet and a growing number of Democratic pundits calling for his resignation before he formally resigned.

“I have five months left in my presidency and I have a lot to do,” he said Monday. “It has been the honor of my life to serve as your president. I love my job, but I love my country more. All this talk about how I’m mad at the people who said I should quit, that’s not true.”

Harris recently picked Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) as his running mate and appears to have hit Republicans where it hurts, embracing the message that their tactics are “weird.”
