Joe Biden says Kamala Harris 'qualified' to take over as president if needed | BBC News

US President Joe Biden insists he will not end his re-election bid because he believes he is best placed to beat Donald Trump in November.
But at a high-stakes press conference at the Nato summit in Washington he told reporters his vice-president, Kamala Harris, was qualified to take over the top job if necessary.
US President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to Vice-President Harris as 'Trump' at the event.
Earlier, he misnamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as 'President Putin' while speaking to reporters about Nato’s support for Ukraine.

Joe Biden says Trump 'qualified' BBC

[@frosty_mentos1238]

XDD

[@JosephStalin-sv5lm]

When the 71 year old Leonid Brezhnev replaced Nikolai Podgorny as the Russian President in 1977 and became the oldest person to become th Russian Head of State, it was unknown to almost everyone in world that the Superpower Soviet Union itself was going to collapse 14 years later. Today Biden may be reelected just to fight a longlasting war in Ukraine that will be a stalemate, USA will sadly soon collapse due to his policies leading to a dead end
