Western reports have indicated that Biden will face an uphill battle in the election against his Republican rival, at a time when many analysts and observers stop at the age of the oldest president in the United States, who, s If he wins, he will leave office at the age of 86, so all eyes will be on Harris, who could become one of the nation’s leaders overnight.
Speaking about Biden’s age, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said: “I think we can all be very clear and actually say that if you vote for Joe Biden, you really count on the President Harris, because the idea of ​​him even being 86 is not a possible thing.”
And Haley wasn’t the only Republican to sue Kamala Harris. After describing Biden as the 142-year-old, Republican Senator Ted Cruz scoffed at the possibility of Harris going up against Chinese President Xi Jinping or the Russian President. Vladimir Putin, in case of escalation to the presidency.
electoral fortunes
Kamala Harris featured prominently in the video in which Biden announced his campaign for the 2024 election, a strong sign that she will be a key part of his re-election effort, The New York Times reported. To her supporters, Harris, 58, represents large segments of the American electorate whom Biden does not represent, as she is female, biracial, decades younger than Biden (80), and is seen as the advocate the administration’s most visible voice on a number of issues, including suffrage, abortion and the fight against climate change. But her critics – including Republicans and Democrats – say she is not ready for the future of leading the country, as she sees herself as a possible heir to the Biden presidency, and some do not believe the problems in his portfolio will win the approval of voters. Joe Biden has previously defended his vice president, Harris, saying she “didn’t get the recognition she deserved.”
The odds are Biden and Kamala
For his part, a member of the American Democratic Party and political analyst in Washington, Mahdi Afifi, commented in statements exclusive to “Sky News Arabia” on the attack linked to Kamala Harris, and its impact on his chances with President Joe Biden. in the next elections, saying:
At election time we hear a lot of opinions, and of course what the Republicans mentioned to try to cover up the failure to find a candidate who would win votes in Trump’s place, and so they try every way to threaten Biden’s chances with Kamala Harris. Not only are Republicans talking about Biden’s age, but there are also Democrats, and the United States is a democratic country that accepts those views, but on the other hand, some Democrats find the experience of Biden gives him a vision to deal with various problems, especially with the presence of a country of institutions capable of managing international crises and internal challenges. Usually, the role of vice president does not appear in any American administration, but Kamala Harris has played strong roles, whether on the question of immigration, racism between blacks and whites, and the question of the valorization of women’s and minority rights, and she had an important role for her, but usually the big institutions and the media don’t focus on the role of vice president at all. Kamala Harris is one of the most active vice presidents in history, but it’s always nature to focus on the president, not his vice president. As for the influence of Harris on the fortune of Biden, on the contrary, I do not see it at all. We have seen “Nancy Pelosi”, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, and she has handled many situations over the years with great efficiency, as she is a woman who does not underestimate her, and that she has experience and communication with party members, whether in the House of Representatives or the Senate, which qualifies her to assume this position. I don’t think there’s any apprehension in the halls of the Democratic Party about Kamala Harris, but it’s only natural that we hear many different opinions, and in any case Biden benefits from his presence at his side.
