The article reports that Vice President Kamala Harris named John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama among the United States’ “most effective” presidents during a conference appearance, without mentioning President Joe Biden. The omission attracted attention because Harris was serving as Biden’s vice president and was widely associated with his administration.

The available text does not provide the event’s date, the full question Harris was answering, or her complete remarks. It therefore cannot establish whether Biden’s absence was intentional, a criticism of his presidency, or simply a limited selection of historical examples.
