If 77-year-old Joe Biden manages to defeat Donald Trump in the November elections, he is unlikely to survive two presidential terms.
This is reported by The Guardian.
Democrats realistically assess the capabilities of their presidential candidate. He has health problems and often makes incoherent statements due to Biden’s age. With this in mind, Democrats have to think ahead. That is why they nominated Kamala Harris for the post of vice president.
Although Harris was criticized for supporting the security forces as California’s attorney general, as well as for his frivolous approach to politics, the choice was justified on the fact that the Democrats needed more than just a vice president, but a potential future president of the country. Kamala Harris has a centrist position, as does former President Barack Obama. In addition, in this way the Democrats hope to unite the party, which is now experiencing a serious split.
“She can be presented as a president. This is partly because after Trump and after COVID, everyone in the new administration will love it. But the main reason is Biden’s age. He will turn 78 in November. It was hinted, although not stated definitely, that he could only serve one sentence. He described himself as a transitional figure in a party paving the way for a new generation, ” writes The Guardian.
Thus, the top of the Democratic Party, if Biden wins, will give Harris an opportunity to prove himself, and people – to get used to it over the next 4 years.
