WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will take their first trip together next week since Biden ended his candidacy and Harris took over as the Democratic standard bearer.
The White House announced Friday morning that Biden and Harris will head to Maryland on Aug. 15 for an event to “discuss the progress they are making to lower costs for Americans.” They did not reveal the location or further details.
Biden and Harris have made brief appearances together since the president wrapped up his re-election bid on July 21, including a trip to Joint Base Andrews last week to welcome home U.S. citizens illegally detained in Russia. They also attended a Situation Room meeting together earlier this week to discuss the situation in the Middle East and had lunch together last week.
Taking additional steps to reduce costs is one area Biden wants to focus on in the final months of his presidency.
