US President Joe Biden on Thursday said his deputy, Vice President Kamala Harris, is “qualified” to lead the country.<\/p>\n

At a high-stake press conference here on Thursday, Biden said, \u201cFrom the very beginning, I made no bones about that. She is qualified to be the president. That’s why I picked her.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the reasons for this, he said \u201cFirstly because of the way she’s handled the issue of freedom of women’s bodies, to have control of their bodies and secondly, her ability to handle almost any issue on the board.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a hell of a prosecutor. She was a first-rate person and in the Senate, she was really good. I wouldn’t have picked her unless I thought she was qualified to be the president,\u201d Biden said.
\n \n<\/p>\n

Harris, 59, is the first woman, the first Black American, and the first South Asian American to be elected as US Vice President in 2020.<\/p>\n

Biden’s remarks on Harris came amidst growing calls for the 81-year-old to step aside from the race for the White House in November since he stumbled through a TV debate with his Republican rival Donald Trump last month.
\n \n<\/p>\n

The president mistakenly referred to Kamala Harris as former president Trump during the press conference. He said, \u201cI wouldn’t have picked Trump to be the vice president, did I think she was not qualified to be president\u2026.\u201d
\n \n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact is that the consideration is that I think I’m the most qualified person to run for president. I beat him once and I will beat him again,\u201d Biden said.
\n \n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea that senators and congressmen are running for office worrying about the ticket is not unusual. And I might add, there were at least five presidents running or incumbent presidents who had lower numbers than I have now later in a campaign,\u201d he said.
\n \n<\/p>\n

So, there’s a long way to go in this campaign and so I’m just going to keep moving, Biden, the presumptive candidate of the Democratic Party, said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
