Joe Biden says Kamala Harris 'qualified' to take over as president if needed | BBC News

US President Joe Biden insists he will not end his re-election bid because he believes he is best placed to beat Donald Trump in November.

But at a high-stakes press conference at the Nato summit in Washington he told reporters his vice-president, Kamala Harris, was qualified to take over the top job if necessary.

US President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to Vice-President Harris as 'Trump' at the event.

Earlier, he misnamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as 'President Putin' while speaking to reporters about Nato’s support for Ukraine.

Wasn’t it during the reign of Caligula that a horse was made a consul. I think I’d feel more secure with red rum as president. It does make me wonder who is really captain of the ship as there is zero chance it’s this guy. how long is *XAI60T* available to us?
