Vice President Harris Reassures Democrats: President Biden is in Good Health and Ready to Lead

Vice President Kamala Harris has dismissed criticism from Republican presidential candidates and reassured Democrats that President Joe Biden is in good health. In an interview with CBS’ Margaret Brennan on Thursday, Harris said that the Biden administration has delivered on its policy goals and that there is no reason to worry about the president’s health.

When asked if she was prepared to assume the role of commander-in-chief if something happened to Biden, Harris said that she was more than equipped to do so. She also praised the president’s “transformative” presidency and said that he is “going to be fine.”

Harris also addressed the Republican attacks against her, saying that they are “not new” and that “very few of those who challenge our administration actually have a plan for America.” She went on to say that the Biden administration is focused on delivering on its promises and that they are “not going to be distracted by these attacks.”

The vice president’s comments come as the 2024 campaign for the White House gets underway. A recent Wall Street Journal poll showed that two-thirds of Democrats are concerned that Biden is “too old to run” in 2024. Harris dismissed this possibility and said that the president is in good health and will continue to lead the country.

The Biden/Harris administration has made a number of policy achievements since taking office, including the passage of the American Rescue Plan, the expansion of healthcare coverage, and the implementation of a series of executive orders. Harris said that the administration is focused on delivering on its promises and will not be distracted by the attacks from Republican presidential candidates.
