Conservatives joke that Biden pandered to Trump’s campaign by calling Harris a “key player in everything” the administrator does

Many conservative commentators said Friday that it was a boon for former President Trump’s campaign that President Biden tied Vice President Kamala Harris so closely to his administration’s record.

Biden made his first appearance during a White House news conference, where he spoke briefly about the averted longshoremen’s strike and Friday’s positive jobs numbers and announced that he may seek additional money from Congress to fund Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

Biden was asked what role Harris has played amid numerous crises at home and abroad.

“Well it is her, I am in constant contact with her. She is aware that we all sing from the same pen. We, she helped pass all the laws that are being used,” Biden said.

“Now she has been instrumental in everything we have done, including passing laws we were told we could never pass. And so she was, and her staff is aligned with mine in terms of everything we do.” “That’s what we’re doing right now,” Biden continued.

Biden gets defensive when pressed on who will “command” the response to Hurricane Helene.

As Harris seeks to end Biden’s controversial presidency, conservatives on social media called it a gift to the Trump campaign.

Fox News contributor Joe Concha mocked the statement by writing, “Look Ma. A campaign advertisement!”

“I’m Donald Trump and I agreed with this message,” joked Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita.

Fox News contributor Guy Benson expressed similar sentiments: “‘I’m Donald Trump and I agree with this message.'”

“Hahahaha!” Sky News presenter Rita Panahi laughed. “Thanks, Joe.”

“If Biden *actively* tried to help Kamala’s campaign, what would he do differently?” Daily Wire’s Virginia Kruta asked.

CNN pundit Scott Jennings wrote, “He’s literally trying to destroy her campaign and that’s just unbelievable.”

Biden’s surprise media appearance came almost exactly at the same time that Harris was speaking at a major event, causing networks to turn away from her and instead focus on the president.

“We were just about to go live to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is currently speaking in Detroit, Michigan, apparently talking about ending this port strike,” CNN anchor Boris Sanchez said Friday. “She’s trying to appeal to union members, and yet the president of the United States steps forward, clearly outshines her and answers important questions.”

“Kamala began speaking in Michigan at 2:04 EST. Biden walked into the White House briefing room two minutes later for the first time since taking office. All networks then broke from Kamala to Biden. Biden then said that he and Kamala were “She has played an important role in everything we’ve done,” digital strategist Greg Price wrote in a social media post. “He absolutely despises her lol.”
