(Patria) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday dismissed concerns about President Joe Biden's age, saying she is ready to be commander-in-chief but that it won't be necessary, Reuters reported.
"Joe Biden will be just fine," Harris said when asked about concerns that Biden is too old to run again.
Biden, who will turn 81 in November and be 82 at the start of a potential second four-year term in January 2025, faces skeptical American voters who will decide whether to elect him for another four years in November 2024.
His leading opponent, Republican Donald Trump, is 77 years old.
American voters say they would like to see younger candidates for president.
Some Republican presidential candidates, including former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, have said that a vote for Biden will ultimately be a vote for Harris.
Harris, who traveled to a summit of Asian leaders in Jakarta, told CBS News, when asked if she is ready to assume the presidency: "Yes, I am, if necessary."
"But Joe Biden will be fine. Let me tell you something: I work with Joe Biden every day," the vice president added.
