Vice President Kamala Harris said she is ready to take over as president but dismissed the idea that her transition to the Oval Office will be needed.

"Yes, I am, if necessary," Harris said when asked by CBS News's Margaret Brennan if she is ready to be commander in chief. "But Joe Biden is going to be fine."

Brennan cited a recent Wall Street Journal poll that found two-thirds of Democrats believe Biden is too old to be president. At 80, Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. He would be 82 if he wins reelection and 86 at the end of his second term, making him the oldest person to assume the presidency for the second time.

However, Harris touted the administration's low unemployment rate, creation of 800,000 manufacturing jobs, and capping the cost of insulin as reasons why Biden continues to be fit for office.

"Many have talked about doing this," she said. "This is the work under Joe Biden's leadership that has actually been accomplished. And I think the American people, most of all, want a leader who actually gets things done. And that is what Joe Biden has accomplished."

Brennan asked Harris about her response to various attacks from Republican presidential candidates who are wary of her taking over as president should Biden be unable to serve. Harris said the attacks are a testament to her and Biden's success.

"I was the first woman elected district attorney of San Francisco, a major city in this country, and reelected. I was the first woman attorney general of the second-largest Department of Justice in the United States and reelected. I was a United States senator. I represented 1 in 8 Americans, and I'm now vice president of the United States," Harris said.

"They feel the need to attack because they're scared that we will win based on the merit of the work that Joe Biden and I and our administration has done," Harris said.
