On November 11, local time, the current US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris appeared in the same frame for the first time in a long time. The two came to Arlington National Cemetery to participate in Veterans Day activities.
This was the last time Biden participated in this event as president, but many people's focus that day was on Harris because it was her first public appearance since losing to Donald Trump.
After laying a wreath, the 81-year-old Biden delivered a speech to pay tribute to military personnel and their families.
"This is the last time I will stand in Arlington as Commander-in-Chief. It has been the greatest honor of my life; to lead you, to serve you, to care for you, to defend you, just as you have defended us generation after generation, "You are the greatest fighting force," Biden said affectionately. "This is not an exaggeration." When he sang "God Bless America" (the unofficial national anthem of the United States) later, Biden burst into tears. , I had to use a tissue to wipe away my tears while singing.
It is estimated that Biden also had mixed feelings at the time. His decision to "withdraw troops from Afghanistan" during his term has always been controversial, although he said in his speech: "After we captured bin Laden, the four Presidents are faced with a decision whether to end the longest war in our history. I am determined not to leave that decision to a fifth president.”
But in the eyes of Trump and his Republican allies, if the United States does not engage in If we withdraw our troops from Afghanistan, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will not happen.
When Biden spoke loudly on the stage, Harris listened carefully in the audience. She sat with Jill Biden, the first lady, but the American media pointed out that the two did not get along. Mrs. Biden, 72, has been cold to Harris.
According to reports, Mrs. Biden warmly welcomed Doug Emhoff, the second gentleman, that day. They sat down to chat while waiting for the speech to begin, with sources saying they have long been close. But as Harris sat between them, Gill turned her attention to the ceremony.
"It is well known that the first lady is resentful," the American media made such comments unceremoniously. It is said that Biden’s initial insistence on running for re-election was instigated by his wife and son Hunter Biden, even though they knew that Biden’s physical condition was not suitable to continue serving as president. And when Biden had to withdraw from the election due to pressure from within the Democratic Party, Gill was really unhappy, and then vented his grievances on Harris.
Of course, these are just generally believed views. Jill denied such statements in public, saying that she strongly supports Harris, but she did not work too hard in Harris's campaign and participated symbolically a few times. , and also highly praised Harris, saying that she is an "agile, strong, compassionate and decisive leader." Now that I have a job, there may be opportunities in the future.
Harris has not disclosed her future direction, but she is obviously in a good mood now, and she is still able to smile her signature smile even in a serious place like a cemetery.
