So sorry for the late posts, I had been sick and took a short break on here to mend myself. So I am back to updating.

Because July 4th was on a Sunday, Monday July 5th was a public day. There wasn't much on the 6th and 7th that is publicly known except for the statement, the Office of the Vice President release on the occasion of the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse and the attack on First Lady Martine Moïse of the Republic of Haiti.

On July 8th, she began the day by joining President Biden in the Oval Office where they met with the White House National Security Team to receive a periodic update on the progress of our military drawdown from Afghanistan.

2) Then she departed for her first visit to her alma mater Howard University since Inauguration Day where she spoke a powerful defense of voting rights and the need to ensure that all American voices are heard in the political process and also launch the DNCs “I Will Vote” initiative.

The President and Vice President reiterated that they will continue to push for Congress to pass critical legislation that protects the right to vote and combats subversion of the election process, while continuing to utilize all existing authorities in an all-of-government effort to ensure full voter participation and elections that reflect the will of the people.

The civil rights leaders provided an update on the work their organizations are doing, both nationally and in the states, to protect the right to vote. They also provided the President and Vice President with their ideas on ways to engage the public on civil rights issues."
