The vice president has all but sewn up the Democratic nomination after 81-year-old Biden's extraordinary decision to drop out.
But now she is under pressure as Republican lawmakers demand Biden's cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment. Republican Senator Eric Schmitt sent a letter to all cabinet members on Monday demanding they use the Constitution to remove him from office. GOP Senator Tom Cotton has slammed Harris for spending years saying 'Biden was able to serve, sharp as a tack, fit as a fiddle.
'Now, she has to answer: if Joe Biden isn’t fit to run for president, do you believe that he’s fit to continue serving as president?' Harris' office didn't respond to Fox News Digital' s question of whether she believes Biden should serve out the remainder of his term. The ailing president broke his silence after five days on Monday by calling into his old campaign office on loudspeaker. 11:37 Kamala Harris has secured the support of enough Democratic delegates to win the presidential nomination Vice President Kamala Harris has the support from enough Democratic delegates to sew up the Democratic nomination.
CNN and other outlets calculated that delegates from enough states have said they would back Harris that she has more than the 1,976 pledged delegates needed to win the Democratic presidential nomination at the convention in Chicago next month. The news comes one day after President Joe Biden dramatically departed the race, endorsing Harris on his way out. So far, there hasn't been Democratic resistance to having Harris take over the top of the ticket.
Marianne Williamson, the self-help guru who challenged Biden in the primaries earlier this year, said she wanted there to be an open convention. But with a majority of delegates saying they'll vote Harris, it's unlikely an insurgent candidate would gain much traction.

The former home secretary said she would back the Republican candidate because 'no wars were started' when he was in the White House between 2016 and 2020.

She used her guest host appearance to lambast Kamala Harris as 'very much to the left of US politics, in some ways she is even to the left of Bernie Sanders .' She said: 'I want Trump to be president.
If we look at the policy - don't look at the characters and the personalities - if we look at the policy, I think the world will be safer under Donald Trump.

The 81-year-old spoke in a scratchy voice to campaign staffers from COVID isolation at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware , home and told Harris: 'I'm watching you kid'.
