Vice President Kamala Harris made her first public appearance as a 2024 presidential candidate on Monday, though she did not mention her bid.
Speaking on the White House South Lawn to an audience of young people for the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Sports Day, Harris opened her remarks by sharing that President Joe Biden wished he could have attended and was “recovering fast” from COVID. “He looks forward to getting back on the road,” Harris said.
She did not directly address her new candidacy for president, considering it was an official White House event.
