WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden has confirmed that he plans to have Vice President Kamala Harris be his running mate in 2024.Speaking at a press conference to mark the end of his first year in the White House Biden did not hesitate to express his support for Harris."She's going to be my running mate.

I think she's doing a good job," he said. Back in November, 2021, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that Biden will be running for re-election in 2024.RELATED: Biden's 1st year in office: A look at administration's accomplishments, stumblesBiden’s confirmation of Harris as his future running mate comes as the president put the full weight of his presidency behind voting rights action last week, heading to Capitol Hill in an effort to push Democrats to change Senate rules to pass legislation.But Harris — whom Biden tapped to take the lead on passing voting rights legislation in June — wasn’t there.Both White House press secretary Jen Psaki and Harris aides had no clear answer when asked why the vice president didn’t join Biden in the meeting.It was yet another example of the difficulty Harris has faced throughout her first year in office, as she’s struggled to define herself and her role.Harris has grappled with an expansive portfolio of difficult assignments, fielded questions about her relationship with the president and faced what allies say is unprecedented scrutiny for a vice president — without, some worry, adequate support from the White House.And she’s navigated all that within the constraints of a global pandemic and a duty to act as the tie-breaking vote in an evenly-divided Senate that have restricted her ability to travel beyond Washington.The confirmation follows concern by some Democratic leaders.

Ukraine-Russia conflict: Pentagon places 8,500 troops on standby
WASHINGTON - At President Biden's direction, the Pentagon is putting about 8,500 U.S.-based troops on heightened alert for potential deployment to Europe amid rising fears of a possible Russian military move on Ukraine.Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said Monday no final decisions had been made on deployments, which he said would happen only if the NATO alliance decides to activate a rapid-response force "or if other situations develop" in connection with tensions over Russia's military buildup along Ukraine's borders."What this is about is reassurance to our NATO allies," Kirby said, adding that no troops are intended for deployment to Ukraine itself.Kirby said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recommended to Biden that up to 8,500 troops be ordered to prepare for potential deployment to Europe in light of signs that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not de-escalating his military pressure on Ukraine. Kirby said he was not prepared to identify the U.S.-based units because they were still being notified."We’ve always said we would reinforce our allies on the eastern flank, and those conversations and discussions have certainly been part of what our national security officials have been discussing with their counterparts now for several weeks," said White House press secretary Jen Psaki.FILE - Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby.
