Opinion polls indicate weak popular confidence in the leadership of US Vice President Kamala Harris. Many doubt her ability to fulfill the obligations of the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces if Biden steps down from office.

Demands have increased for the need to prepare with an alternative plan if it is necessary to put forward an alternative candidate for Biden to run in the presidential election next November. Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley believes that a Harris victory would harm the United States and its interests.
