Joe Biden says Kamala Harris 'qualified' to take over as president if needed | BBC News

US President Joe Biden insists he will not end his re-election bid because he believes he is best placed to beat Donald Trump in November.

But at a high-stakes press conference at the Nato summit in Washington he told reporters his vice-president, Kamala Harris, was qualified to take over the top job if necessary.

US President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to Vice-President Harris as 'Trump' at the event.

Earlier, he misnamed Ukrainian President Volodymyra Zelensky as 'President Putin' while speaking to reporters about Nato's support for Ukraine.
