President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held their first joint event since Biden exited the 2024 race and endorsed her to take his place atop the Democratic ticket.

The two walked out together to cheers to deliver remarks on stage at Prince George’s County Community College in Maryland about the economy and what their administration has done to alleviate costs for Americans.

That includes the administration’s announcement earlier Thursday that the Department of Health and Human Services reached an agreement on price negotiations for 10 commonly used drugs that they say will save Medicare enrollees $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs when the new prices go into effect in 2026.

“We know it is not just about health care, it is about your dignity,” Biden said of the policy. “It’s about peace of mind. It’s about security. It’s about taking care of your family. It’s about giving folks just a little bit more breathing room.”

    Keep screeching about how nothing is ever good enough. Just be absolutely furious at the Dems, call everyone “blue MAGA” if they think an improvement to the situation is positive or if they think allowing things to get worse is negative. People will continue dismissing you as a troll. Not sure what you get out of it other than making yourself angry.

      I’m furious that everyone will settle for the smallest possible improvement and then go back to brunch.

      You should never be satisfied. Again, it’s a good start.

        Who says anyone is satisfied?

        Thats your assumption.

          Chanting “thank you” implies it when no one is demanding more.

          But it’s all y’all too!

          None of you will ever ask anything of your elected representatives, you just vote for them and hope really hard. You’re extremely loyal.
