On November 5, 2024, the country of Uncle Sam will choose its 47th president. It is then just a little over a year. But on the side of the Democrats. Indeed, Vice President Kamala Harris says she is ready to assume the role of president in succession to Joe Biden.
Abroad to represent the Biden administration at Southeast Asia summits, Vice President Kamala Harris told CBS News she would be ready to take on the presidency if needed, while dismissing concerns regarding the age of President Joe Biden.
“The work our administration has done under the leadership of Joe Biden is transformative. I think the American people want above all a leader who actually gets things done,” Vice President Harris said in an interview with moderator Margaret. of “Face the Nation” of CBS News while specifying that its president “will be fine” in this dynamic. After declaring she was ready to become commander-in-chief “if necessary,” the vice president added that Biden “will be fine.” “We will be re-elected,” she said.
Similarly, in an interview with the Associated Press this week, amid a recent poll, Kamala Harris also pointed out that the incumbent Democratic president’s age is “a major concern for voters on both sides of the aisle.”
Biden, 80, is the oldest sitting US president and would be 86 when his second term ends. The polls for his re-election for an additional term in view of his age exceed 56% of the population. Moreover, this might impact governance and the management of fundamental issues in an intelligent way. “I don’t see how his ability to understand problems and come out of them like no one else, to make smart and important decisions on behalf of the American people, played into it,” Harris told The Associated Press on the subject.
What needs to be remembered is that Kamala Harris has been a key voice for the Biden administration on burning issues such as abortion and gun rights. It is therefore at the heart of Biden’s policy despite attacks from Republicans, it has remained constant.
A member of the Democratic Party, Kamala Harris served as California’s attorney general from 2011 to 2017, during Governor Jerry Brown’s tenure. From 2017 to 2021, she is a senator for California in the United States Congress. Candidate for the Democratic nomination for the 2020 presidential election, she achieved remarkable performances during the first debates, but saw the voting intentions in her favor decline and withdrew before the official start of the primaries.
Joe Biden then chose her to be his running mate as the Democratic vice-presidential candidate.
