The candidate who announced her run for the US presidency: "Biden is expected to die within five years"

The former governor of the state of South Carolina and the one who announced a run for the presidency on behalf of the Republican Party, Nikki Haley , caused a stir when she referred to the age of the current president, Joe Biden , and said that "he is expected to die within five years". She also emphasized that "his supporters will have to trust the vice president, Kamala Harris , if he gets re-elected to the White House next year."

Nikki Haley, who previously also served as the US ambassador to the United Nations, was interviewed by the FOX NEWS network and claimed that "Biden announced that he is running again in 2024, and I think it is very clear that if you vote for Biden, then you are actually voting for the vice president, because the idea that he He will serve until the age of 86, this is something unlikely in my opinion." The White House Deputy Spokesman, Andrew Bates , responded to her words, saying that "we do not respond directly to the campaigns of other contestants, but honestly, I forgot she was running."

Haley announced last January her candidacy for the presidency, and even then referred to the age of the incumbent president. According to her, "When you look at the future of America, I think it's time for a new generational change. I don't think you have to be 80 years old to be the president. I think we need a younger generation to come in, step up and start really fixing things."

She also said, "When you look at running for president, you have to look at two things. First of all, you have to ask yourself if the current situation calls for new people to enter the race, and the second question is, 'Am I the person who can be the new leader?'" Haley added that "you can look at the domestic and foreign policy, the rising inflation, the shrinking economy, the growing government and the business owners who are unable to pay their rent. All these things justify work, so we need to go in a new direction." According to her, "So do I think I can be that leader? Yes, but we are still working on it and will understand more deeply."
