This is the way I see through this; Joe Biden has done what he did in the last three years, some things were good and some were not so good. But, his health is what is central here, and the vice president Kamala Harris in case the president was to all of a sudden fall ill people don't have the confidence that she is capable at all. Looking back in the last three and half years Kamala Harris has been a horrible vice president when she was in Europe not long ago she seems to laugh a lot and during the first part of the administration with the border issues she was completely spaced out. If there was a way for her to step down and someone more determined was in her place that could also be an option to have the president's back. Joe Biden he can say all he wants and if the body decides to quit then it will be the real test.

[@intercedingforyou]

Oh, so your problem is not with President Biden, but with a President Harris. Do you see that your reservation is not only misogynistic but racist as well? Kamala Harris is a very accomplished lawyer/prosecutor. She does more than laugh. She has a very good grasp of world events and she knows the law. The reason you think she has not done much is proof that she is performing well in her VP position. She is SUPPOSED to be low key and not take glory from the President. I hope you vote for Biden and Democrats because without them the dictator in waiting and his crew will implement Project 2025 the minute they enter the Oval office.
