As President Biden ramps up his presidential re-election campaign for 2024, he’s facing low approval ratings, while those of his vice president, Kamala Harris, are even lower. But at the same time, Biden is 80 years old, and there remains the unspoken possibility that Harris could succeed him at any time – a possibility that becomes more acute if Biden is elected to a second term.

Harris will remain on the ticket, as Biden’s re-election announcement included references throughout to the Biden-Harris Administration, although the New York Post noted that Harris was “muzzled” in the campaign announcement video, since only Biden spoke in it, although the vice president did appear throughout the video.

There have also been indications that Republicans are planning to run against Harris in 2024.
