Biden Raises Kamala Harris' Hand in Show of Unity as Donors, Voters Revolt

President Joe Biden raised Vice President Kamala Harris' hand on the Truman Balcony of the White House in a show of unity during Thursday night's Independence Day fireworks display.

The Fourth of July event occurred as donors and voters continue to revolt from the campaign of Biden, 81, following the president's poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump last week.

Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has established a sizable lead over the Democratic incumbent Biden in the White House race since the two candidates tangled on the CNN debate stage in Atlanta on June 27.

In both nationwide polls, respondents noted that Biden's age weighed on his appeal. Some 80 percent of respondents in the Journal poll, which surveyed 1,500 registered voters from June 29 through July 2, said Biden was too old to seek a second term.
