“I know her. I trust her. The first decision I made as the nominee in 2020 was to choose her as my vice president,” he said. “It was the best decision I made as President of the United States.”
Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris also criticized the sale of US steel corporation US Steel to Japan’s Nippon Steel company in a deal worth $14.9 billion.
“When you’re in Pittsburgh, you’re standing side by side with steelworkers. I have faith in American steel companies, for the simple reason that American steelworkers are the best in the world at what they do.” “, Mr. Biden said.
Pennsylvania is considered an important battleground in the upcoming November 5 election, where Ms. Harris will face former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump.
