President Joe Biden will not join the festivities at Kamala Harris’ election watch party, the Washington Examiner reported Tuesday. “The president and First Lady will watch election results in the White House residence with longtime aides and senior White House staff,” a White House official told the outlet. Meanwhile, less than two miles from the executive residence, the vice president is watching the vote tally from her alma mater, Howard University. Biden played a limited role campaigning for Harris, particularly in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential race.
