Vice President Kamala Harris assured voters she is ready to replace President Joe Biden "if necessary."

Harris sat down for a one-on-one interview on CBS News's Face the Nation while in Indonesia earlier this week. The subsequent conversation aired on Sunday. Host Margaret Brennan began the segment with a video compilation of several 2024 GOP candidates commenting on their fears of a Harris presidency and asked Harris to respond. At first, the vice president skirted the question and attempted to list the accomplishments of her administration with Joe Biden.

"They’re honing in on you. Why do you think that is? How do you respond to those attacks?" Brennan rephrased the question. "That’s not about policy. That’s about you."

"There’s nothing new about that," Harris responded. "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."

Brennan noted that Harris is 58 currently, while Biden is 81. Should they win a second term, the president would be 86 at the end of it. The CBS host asked Harris if she was ready to become commander in chief.

"Yes, I am, if necessary. But Joe Biden is going to be fine," Harris said. "Let me tell you something. I work with Joe Biden every day. Under Joe Biden’s leadership, we have transformed and are in the process of transforming America’s infrastructure with a historic investment in not only roads and bridges, but high-speed internet; what we are doing around issues like lead pipes, and I could go on and on."

"We will win the election. We will win reelection," Harris added. "There's too much at stake, and the American people know it."

Biden is facing off against two other Democratic candidates, environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and author Marianne Williamson, in the race to win his second term.
