US President Joe Biden said Vice-President Kamala Harris "could be the next President of the United States", signalling that she was the best-positioned candidate to replace him if he chose to retire. This comes amid concerns about Biden's fitness to serve a second term as US President.
Axar.az reports that the US President Joe Biden, 81, remarked that Vice-President Kamala Harris "could be President of the United States" while addressing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) annual convention. This comes amid increasing calls from Democrats for Biden to drop out of the race ahead of the upcoming November 5 presidential election.
"She’s not only a great vice-president, she could be President of the United States," Biden said of Harris, 59, indicating her as the best-positioned candidate to replace him if he chooses to retire. However, Biden told the crowd that he had already made plans for the first 100 days of his second term.
If Kamala Harris replaces Biden and wins the presidential election, she will make history as the first woman of colour elected as President of the US.
