Vice President Kamala Harris is recognizing President Joe Biden’s empathy as a “trademark” of his presidency.
While delivering remarks at a Rose Garden event, Harris celebrated the president’s first legislative win with the passage of his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, also known as the American Rescue Plan.
“Your empathy has become a trademark of your presidency and can be found on each and every page of the American Rescue Plan,” Harris said on Friday.
Watch her remarks below:
Biden signed the relief bill on Thursday afternoon, as IJR reported. He said, “This historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country.”
The House of Representatives passed the bill on Wednesday. Included in the legislation is $400 billion for $1,400 direct payments, $350 billion for state and local governments, $56 billion for childcare programs, $109 billion for public health, and more.
The vice president’s comments come one day after Biden delivered his first prime-time address since taking office, as IJR reported.
