Joe Biden, who has not been seen in public since July 17, apparently called into a Democratic campaign event for Kamala Harris on Monday and offered a slurring endorsement of the Vice President.
“It is so good to hear our President’s voice,” says Harris after taking the mic. “Joe, I know you’re still on the rec– on the call,” she continues, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others speculating she had been about to say “recording.”
“[W]e’ve been talking every day… We love Joe and Jill; we really do. They truly are like family to us,” she continues before Biden‘s voice comes through, extremely muffled, saying, “It’s mutual. I’m watching you, kid. I love you.”
“I love you Joe, ohhh,” replies Harris, who turns 60 in October.
During the Democratic primary contest for 2020, she publicly chastised Biden for working with segregationist senators to oppose busing, claiming this personally harmed her.

WHERE’S JOE?
Speculation is swirling that the 81-year-old’s health is worse than reports suggest. However, a July 22 memorandum from Biden’s doctor to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insists he is recovering well and still performing his presidential duties after ten doses of Pfizer‘s Paxlovid.
Biden’s youngest brother, Francis ‘Frank’ Biden, has said health “absolutely” played a role in the 81-year-old’s decision to exit the presidential race, and that he looks forward to “hav[ing] him back to enjoy whatever time we have left.”
Sources close to the Bidens said this is untrue and smeared Frank Biden as an alcoholic.
