Biden, Harris speak on U.S., Russia prisoner swap

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to reporters on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews in Maryland after welcoming home three Americans released as part of the prisoner swap with Russia. Mr. Biden said that "the toughest call on this one was for other countries, because I asked them to do some things that were against their immediate self-interest."

They can't hide for too much longer. She's going to have to speak a lot more without a teleprompter.

Harris said: "This is an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president that understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances."

Her unscripted garble, made less sense than sleepy.

"...who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significants of diplomacy and strengthening alliances"....🤔

She literally can’t make a sentence. She’s a child.

We’re on Biden 7.0 by this point. He’s different every time we see him 😂

[melaniewhite]

That doesn't even sound like him. 😕

Poor guy. He’s deteriorating before our eyes.

Anyone hating on this accomplishment has bad faith regardless of party lines. Great job to all leaders involved in bringing the prisoners home.

They won’t let her speak without a teleprompter from here on out unless there is a debate.

Holy Jesus I wouldnt let either one of these clowns run a Lemonade Stand!!! Never in my life have I ever thought that we'd be in this shape for leadership!! Unbelievable!

How about the American citizens left in Afghanistan.

My 5yo saw the prisoner swap and said “Wow! This is an extraordinary testament to understanding the power of diplomacy and understanding the strength resting in understanding the significance of diplomacy. You can see it in the families, in their eyes and in their cries.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself

It is so nice to see the families being reunited and hugging each other. Thank you, President Biden, for helping these fellow Americans. This is authentic, real hope and what we need from our leaders. I am so grateful for Kamala Harris and Biden.

Glad they’re coming home but crazy that Germany gave up an assassin

[gerardcunningham]

Right before an election. Bravo 👏. Still happy to see Americans home with their families

[MusicOfMelodyK]

Wait a minute! Biden’s answers were way better than Kamala’s. It’s like they switched brains for a moment 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
