Amid a debate over US President Joe Biden’s age, Vice President Kamala Harris has emphasized her willingness to serve her country. A special investigator recently confirmed that her boss had a “bad memory.”
“I am ready to serve my country. There is no doubt about it,” the Democrat said Monday in an interview published by The Wall Street Journal. Everyone who sees her at work concludes that she can lead.
Explosive report from special investigator
According to the newspaper, the interview took place two days before the release of a special counsel report, which contained unflattering assessments of President Biden’s memory. In the report, special investigator Robert Hur addressed the 81-year-old’s document affair and decided not to press charges.
What caused a stir, however, was the assessment that Biden seemed like a “well-meaning, older man with a bad memory.” Hur also cited the president’s allegedly poor memory as an argument that a jury would never find the president guilty in a hypothetical trial.
Biden’s great weakness is his age
The comments caused an uproar nine months before the US presidential election, in which Biden was expected to face his Republican predecessor Donald Trump.
Voters see Biden’s age as a major weakness for the American Democrat, who is already the oldest president in American history and has repeatedly caused a stir with slips of the tongue and confusion. The Republicans like to exploit Biden’s verbal missteps – even though their future presidential candidate Trump also repeatedly raises eyebrows with his bizarre statements.
The U.S. Constitution stipulates that the vice president takes the place of the president when the president dies or is no longer able to fulfill his duties. However, that does not mean that Harris will automatically become the Democratic presidential candidate if Biden drops out of the race before the elections.
