States — President Joe Biden told US veterans Monday that serving as commander-in-chief had been the “greatest honor” of his life as he laid a wreath at a ceremony that marked his first appearance with Kamala Harris since her election defeat.
The event, at historic Arlington National Cemetery, was also the first time Vice President Harris has been seen in public since her November 6 speech in which she conceded the presidential election to Donald Trump.

Democrats, facing a painful reckoning over their drubbing, have begun soul-searching internal discussions — and some not-so-private blaming — over what caused Harris’s loss, with some pointing to Biden’s initial insistence on running again at age 81, despite having promised to be a bridge president to the next generation.
Criticism of Harris herself has been more muted, and Biden heaped praise on Harris last Thursday in a televised White House address.
