Biden and Harris Urge Unity and Resolve Following Election Defeat

At a DNC holiday event, Biden praised Harris' leadership and signaled her continued role in the Democratic Party's future.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris addressed Democratic donors and staff at the DNC's holiday reception in Washington, D.C., following their 2024 election loss to Donald Trump.
Biden emphasized the administration's legislative achievements, including infrastructure investments and climate initiatives, while urging Democrats to remain engaged and resilient.
Harris reassured supporters that the Democratic spirit remains strong, thanking them for their efforts and expressing commitment to continued public service.
Speculation about Harris' future includes potential runs for California governor in 2026 or another presidential bid in 2028, as she weighs her next steps over the holidays.
The DNC faces internal challenges, including post-election layoffs and leadership changes, with a new chair to be selected at the party's winter meeting in February.
