Vice President Kamala Harris has changed her schedule for the week so she can have lunch with President Joe Biden and cozy up to him at this week's Fourth of July festivities.

The move comes as talking of removing Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee continues as part of the fallout from his disasterous debate with Donald Trump.

Harris and Biden will have lunch together at the White House on Wednesday, as they occassionally do. 

Then she and second gentleman Doug Emhoff will join both President Biden and first lady Jill Biden at the White House on Thursday evening a Fourth of July celebration for military and veteran families, caregivers, and survivors.

Harris and Emhoff are currently in California, where they are fundraising for Biden's re-election campaign. The couple watched his debate performance from the West Coast.

They return to Washington D.C. on Tuesday evening. 

In the aftermath of debate, amid calls for Biden to exit the race, Harris came to his defense, noting while it wasn't the president's 'finest hour' that he was still the best bet to defeat Trump in November. 

'There are three things that were true yesterday before the debate that are still true today. Let's level set on this. First, the stakes of this race could not be higher. Second, the contrast in this election could not be more stark. And third, we believe in our President Joe Biden, and we believe in what he stands for,' she said at a campaign event in Las Vegas on Friday.

'This race will not be decided by one night in June,' she added.

The Biden campaign has made it clear he is going no where and intends to stay on as the Democratic nominee.

But the president is still dealing with a demoralized staff and donors who are threatening to pull the plug on his campaign.

Harris is seen as the one who can benefit the most from Biden's debate performance. If he does step down as the Democratic presidential nominee she would be seen as his likely successor. And, while she would not be guaranteed the nomination, she would be the frontrunner.

Additionally, she would have a massive financial advantage over other would-be contenders like Govs. Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer - the millions of dollars that Biden has raised for his re-election campaign can legally only go to one person: his running mate Kamala Harris. 

Her name is listed next to Biden's on all the campaign paperwork filed with the Federal Election Commission.

But Harris, 59, also polls lower than Biden. Earlier in the campaign cycle some Democrats fretted she would be a drag on the ticket. There was speculation she should be replaced. 

Her supporters, however, note she connects well with voters that Biden doesn't naturally have an affinity with such as minorities and younger voters.
