She is “a heartbeat” away from the presidency of the United States, as the saying goes.
Already chosen by the Democratic president as his running mate for 2024, Vice-President Kamala Harris finds herself once again immersed in the American presidential campaign.
But this time, as criticism of Joe Biden's age and mental health mounts, his role could be different.
Although the president-candidate's commitment seems total, for the moment, the hypothesis of a failure of the septuagenarian is in fact on everyone's minds.
In this scenario, Kamala Harris would then be propelled to the forefront.
“Constitutionally, it is his only job,” recalls Lauric Henneton, lecturer at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.
If something happens to Joe Biden before November, she will replace him, with the special case that he is both president and candidate.
It is difficult to see how she could be the interim president, but not the candidate.
