Biden Tells CDC Staffers VP Harris Is Smarter Than Him

President Joe Biden told staffers at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta that Vice President Kamala Harris is “smarter than I am” while introducing the VP to give brief remarks.

President Biden and Vice President Harris visited the CDC during their trip to Georgia Friday, and Biden wrapped up his pep talk to the agency with a lengthy anecdote about meeting with then-VP Xi Jinping, the point of which was that when Xi asked the then-veep to define America, he replied “Yeah, in one word. And I mean it — in one word: possibilities.”

Biden then quipped “And I shouldn’t have done that because I wanted to yield to my Vice President, who’s smarter than I am.”

“Well, there’s not much to add to that, Mr. President,” Harris said, to laughter.

She then returned the favor by saying that “I do believe that this administration, with the leadership of our President, is without any question about science.”
