Nikki Haley Goes There: Not ‘Likely’ Biden Will Live Until End Of Second Term

Is President Biden Mentally Fit for Re-Election?

President Joe Biden, 80, has announced his plans to run for re-election, but many critics, including Democrats, have been quietly talking about his mental fitness. GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley didn’t mince words when she predicted that Biden wouldn’t live until the end of a second term should he win.

“I think we can all be very clear and say with a matter of fact that if you vote for Joe Biden, you really are counting on a President [Kamala] Harris,” the former South Carolina governor said in an interview on the Fox News show “America Reports.”

What’s at Stake?

If Biden wins re-election in 2024, he’d serve until 2029, when he would be 86. But should he pass away during his term or step aside after two years, that could open the door for Vice President Kamala Harris to serve as many as 10 years in office. Should Biden serve less than half of a second term, Harris could run only once and serve one four-year term, according to the tenets of the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. But if he served half his term, she could run at the top of the ticket twice.

What Do Republicans Say?

Another Republican presidential candidate says Biden running for re-election is tantamount to elder abuse and claims that Biden isn’t really running the show anyway. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy said, “It’s a myth that Joe Biden is actually running for president. He’s not. It’s just the managerial class using Joe Biden as a front to advance its agenda. To them, Biden’s cognitive impairment isn’t a bug. It’s a feature.”
