US Vice President Kamala Harris has said Joe Biden’s achievements are “unparalleled in modern history” in her first public remarks since the US president announced he would withdraw from the presidential race.
Ms. Harris has not commented on her own presidential candidacy.
Speaking at an event with NCAA athletes at the White House, Harris said Biden has accomplished more in one term than other presidents have in two.
“I have witnessed firsthand that every day our President, Joe Biden, fights for the American people,” he said.
“And we are deeply grateful for your service to our nation,” he added.
