Nikki Haley predicted on Wednesday that Joe Biden would die within five years, warning the country would see a President Kamala Harris.

‘If you vote for Joe Biden, you really are counting on a President Harris. Because the idea that he would make it until 86 years old is not something that I think is likely,’ the Republican presidential candidate said in an interview on Fox News.

[At least Haley took aim at Biden rather than a Republican. It’s a mistake to get this direct on the age question, though. It’s much better to discuss energy, vigor, and sharpness and let voters connect those dots, especially for those seeking the top of a ticket. Once again, one gets the impression Haley’s running for VP/chief attack dog. — Ed]
