President Joe Biden said Saturday 'extreme Republicans' are to blame for political violence in America and that Vice President Kamala Harris is 'always fighting for freedom.'
spoke to the Congressional Black Caucus Saturday night in Washington, D.C., where he attributed Congress' failure to reach a deal to avoid a government shutdown thus far and political violence to a group of"extreme Republicans."
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are seen onstage during the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference Phoenix Awards at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on September 23, 2023, in Washington, D.C. "Let's be clear. If the government shuts down, that means members of Congress and members of the U.S. military are going to have to continue to work and not get paid," he continued."A government shutdown could impact everything from food safety to cancer research to Head Start programs for children. Funding the government is among the most basic responsibilities of Congress. And it's time for Republicans to start doing the job America elected them to do.
Biden, 80, noted that there are conversations surrounding whether he fit for office given his advanced age, but said he"knew what to do" to support the U.S. and its allies when he took office in 2021.
