**Biden Will Skip Harris' Election Party, Stay at White House Instead**

President Joe Biden has decided not to attend Vice President Kamala Harris’ election watch party, opting instead to monitor the results from the White House, an administration official confirmed to NBC News.

While Harris will be at Howard University—her alma mater—hosting a celebration with her team, Biden will remain at the White House with the First Lady and a group of long-time officials and aides. The president has no public events scheduled after wrapping up his final campaign appearance in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

In the closing weeks of the campaign, the Biden team found itself largely sidelined from Harris’ efforts, with Biden eager to lend his support but reportedly being kept at arm’s length. According to sources familiar with the situation, whenever Biden’s team expressed interest in joining Harris on the campaign trail, they received the same response: “We’ll get back to you,” Axios reported.

The reluctance to involve Biden more directly stemmed from concerns within the Harris campaign that the president could be seen as a political liability. “He’s a reminder of the last four years, not the new direction forward,” one source close to the campaign told Axios.
