In a shocking statement, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has claimed that President Joe Biden, will likely die within the next five years, leaving Vice President Kamala Harris to take over if he wins the 2024 election. Haley made this remark in an interview on Fox News, where she emphasized that if Biden is voted in for a second term, his supporters should expect a "President Harris" instead. She stated, "the idea that he would make it until 86 years old is not something that I think is likely."

Haley, 51, has made age and competency a central issue in her campaign, suggesting that politicians over 75 should be required to take a mental competency test.

The White House has been working hard to demonstrate that Biden is active and fit, producing a spreadsheet of his rigorous travel schedule and releasing a video of him jogging in his suit jacket. Biden himself has dismissed concerns about his age, stating that he feels good and took a hard look at it before deciding to run.
