Haley suggests Biden won't survive a second term

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley this week warned that President Joe Biden may not live through a second term and suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris would likely need to take over the role.

Haley made the remarks on Wednesday during a Fox News interview on the network's "America Reports" show.

"I think that we can all be very clear and say with a matter of fact that 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," she said.

"[A]re we willing to say we’re ok with a President Kamala Harris? Is that what we’re looking at?" she asked. Haley further reiterated her support for "mental competency tests" for political figures over the age of 75.

Haley announced her campaign in February, emphasizing the need for "a new generation to lead us into the future."

She currently holds 3.9% support in the RealClearPolitics polling average, lagging behind former President Donald Trump, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, and former Vice President Mike Pence. Of those three, only Trump has officially declared his candidacy.
