The president responded, "I'm back in!" before a big grin appeared on his face as he waved and walked out of the briefing room.
Biden dropped out of the presidential race and a chance at a second term in July amid pressure from members of the Democratic party and following a disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump. Biden endorsed Harris when he withdrew from the race.
