    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In an interview with The Wall Street Journal just two days before Special Counsel Robert Hur released his report on Biden’s handling of classified documents, Harris was asked if questions about the 81-year-old Biden’s ability to serve for another term meant that she had to demonstrate to the electorate that she’d be ready to sit in the Oval Office.

    The vice president then told the newspaper that people who’ve observed her job performance are “fully aware of my capacity to lead.”

    But Harris seemingly struggled early in her vice presidential term, with high-profile staff shakeups and a sense from many voters that her assignments — tackling the root causes of migration from Central America and pushing for sweeping voting-rights legislation that was eventually blocked by Senate Republicans — had not been successful.

    She has also prodded Biden to express more public sympathy toward the humanitarian plight of Palestinians in Gaza amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, according to Politico.

    Nikki Haley have sought to use the potential of Harris ascending to the presidency as a political liability against the Democratic ticket.

    While Biden was not charged by Hur over his handling of classified documents, the report cited the president’s “hazy” memory — a characterization which led Biden to forcefully push back in a news conference last week where he defended his acuity and his ability to run for reelection this fall and serve for a second term.
