Vice President Kamala Harris remained on the campaign trail on Saturday as President Biden recovers from a coronavirus infection and as calls continue for him to step down as the nominee.

"We are going to win this election," Harris said at the 1,000-person fundraiser in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. "It's not going to be easy but we are a group of people that understand anything worthwhile takes hard work."

She added that Biden is “fighting for the American people."

Following the fundraiser, Harris gave a thumbs up after a reporter asked if she had spoken to the president and another thumbs up when asked “Is he doing OK?” before boarding Air Force Two bound for Joint Base Andrews.
