Amid recent gaffes by President Joe Biden and continued scrutiny of his age, Vice President Kamala Harris insists she is ready to serve as the highest official in America.
"I am ready to serve. There's no question about that," Harris told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) during an interview aboard Air Force Two. She boasted to the news outlet that everyone who sees her on the job "walks away fully aware of [her] capacity to lead."
"The findings have intensified the scrutiny on Harris … whose tenure has been marked by criticism of her political skills. What had been quiet talk of whether Harris could step into the presidency is now spilling into the open," the WSJ stated.
Former White House Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri also agreed with this observation. "There was always going to be a lot of scrutiny and pressure on [Harris] in the 2024 campaign, and that moment's here now," she said.
Palmieri, who served under the Clinton and Obama administrations, also mentioned that the special report by Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel Robert Hur "has sort of accelerated that moment." The report, which originally focused on Biden's handling of classified documents, shined a light on his mental acuity. Hur wrote in his report that the 81-year-old incumbent displayed "diminished faculties" in interviews and called him an "elderly man with a poor memory."
Biden's aides asked Harris' team to have her appear on a news show to defend the president shortly after the release of the special counsel's report, according to a person familiar with the request. But the vice president could not hold back and publicly denounced the report as politically motivated and gratuitous. She also defended Biden, saying that he is "on top of and in front of it all."

Dems aren't convinced that Kamala is fit for the presidency
"Ahead of [Biden's] reelection campaign, Democrats privately expressed concerns about Harris' place on the ticket, portraying her as a liability," the WSJ continued. "Her backers maintain that Harris … has been held to a different standard from vice presidents, including Biden. Many now acknowledge Harris is on a firmer footing campaigning on abortion access, but they still aren't convinced she should be anointed as the party's future leader."
According to the WSJ, Republicans have meanwhile "seized on Harris' central campaign role, calling her more liberal and unpredictable than Biden." Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who is running for the Republican Party's presidential nomination, is one such critic of the vice president.
"A vote for Biden is a vote for Harris," she once remarked. Haley, who was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under former President Donald Trump, warned that Harris becoming the chief executive is a prospect Americans ought to fear.

The GOP presidential candidate expounded on this warning during an appearance on "The Breakfast Club" hosted by Charlamagne The God and DJ Envy, which aired on Jan. 31. "It should send a chill up everyone's spine thinking about the fact that it would be Harris [as a possible female president]," she told the radio hosts.
"It's not about her personally. She's never been a governor, she's never had executive experience. She was a [U.S.] senator for a couple of years. But the things that Biden gave her, she didn't do anything with them. I just haven't seen her do anything."
