Harris on Biden’s achievements

- Our president Joe Biden wanted to be here today. He is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks forward to getting back on the road - began Kamala Harris.

She briefly recounted how she met Biden and added that she is "deeply grateful" for "his service to the nation." She emphasized that the current President of the USA has "a big heart, is honest, devoted to faith and family, and deeply loves his country."

According to Harris, "Biden's achievements over the past three years are unparalleled in modern history." The gathered audience responded with applause to these words.

- When you play, you inspire people across our nation. You remind all of us what can be achieved with hard work and ambition. - she addressed the athletes.
