Kamala Harris Tells the WSJ: ‘I am Ready to Serve’ as President
Vice President Kamala Harris told the Wall Street Journal that she is “ready to serve” as president amid growing concerns about President Joe Biden’s physical and mental state.
The interview was conducted two days after Special Counsel Robert Hur found Biden, 81, had mishandled classified documents but should not be charged, at least partly, because of his failing memory.
The report described him as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and “diminished faculties.”
The WSJ asked Harris, “Do voters’ concerns about President Biden’s age mean she must convince them she is ready to serve?”
“I am ready to serve. There’s no question about that,” Harris responded. She added that everyone who sees her on the job “walks away fully aware of my capacity to lead.”
The report noted that the discussion about Harris having to take over has now become a public conversation.
