President Joe Biden appears to have intentionally stolen the show from Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday as Harris, who took the Democrat Party nomination from Biden after the party forced him to quit the 2024 presidential race, took the stage for a rally.
CNN reported live on air that they were preparing to switch their coverage to Harris’ rally in Michigan right when Biden decided to walk out, unscheduled, and take over the White House press briefing.
The network said that Biden was “clearly overshadowing” Harris.
The Trump campaign said that Harris took the stage in Detroit at 2:04 p.m. EST and that Biden entered the briefing room two minutes later at 2:06 p.m. EST.

The incident comes as reports have surfaced stating that Biden is surprised, even miffed, that his party and its media organs have moved past his presidency to focus on Harris.
Biden also has reportedly taken issue with Harris saying during her debate with former President Donald Trump that she is “clearly … not Joe Biden.”
During the press briefing, Biden was asked about the role that Harris has played in the administration over the last several years.
“Well, she’s — I’m in constant contact with her,” Biden said. “She’s aware of where — we all — we’re singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws that are being employed now.”
“She was a major player in everything we’ve done, including passage of legislation, which we were told we could never pass,” he continued. “And so, she’s been — and her — her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we’re doing.”
