WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden laid a wreath Monday (Nov 11) to honour the nation’s fallen troopers on Veterans Day, an occasion marking his first look with Vice President Kamala Harris since her election defeat final week.
The ceremony, at historic Arlington Nationwide Cemetery throughout the Potomac River from Washington, can also be the primary time Harris has been seen in public since her Nov 6 speech by which she conceded the presidential election to Donald Trump.
Democrats, going through a painful reckoning over their drubbing, have begun soul-searching inner discussions – and a few not-so-private blaming – over what induced Harris’s loss, with some pointing to Biden’s preliminary insistence on working once more at age 81, regardless of having promised to be a bridge president to the subsequent era.
Criticism of Harris herself has been extra muted, and Biden heaped reward on Harris final Thursday in a televised White Home deal with.
Earlier Monday Biden hosted veterans on the White Home to mark the vacation earlier than heading to Arlington, the ultimate resting place of two presidents, generals from all main US wars, and 1000’s of different army personnel.
