Biden also celebrated the diversity in his cabinet at the event. On stage was Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Michael Regan, Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield, chair of the Council of Economic Advisors Dr. Cecilia Rouse and deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget Shalanda Young.
He gave a shout-out to Ketanji Brown Jackson, his historic nominee for the Supreme Court, which has never had a Black woman.
Biden also said Harris was working on improving Black maternal health, and police reform like banning chokeholds and restricting no-knock warrants. He closed the speech by reiterating the road to change can take time and get frustrating, but he and his team are powering through to make progress.
