Who’s Next in Line After President Kamala Harris?

 Elections are in the hands of voters, not journalists and pundits. 

That became clear in 2020, when Mr. Biden benefited from interconnecting unexpected events—political missteps by Mr. Trump, economic uncertainties caused by the pandemic, and a media eager to forgive his basement hideaways. 

So what happens if Joe Biden is re-elected?

By any measure of common sense, Mr. Biden’s mental acuity and physical stamina won’t carry him through a second term. 

A President Kamala Harris is the specter before the U.S., which raises many interesting questions. The obvious one is whether Ms. Harris is fit for the office.

 Her meager poll ratings and the widespread suspicion of her capabilities have dominated her years as vice president. 

Mr. Khachigian was chief speechwriter to Ronald Reagan and is author of the memoir “Behind Closed Doors: In the Room With Reagan and Nixon,” forthcoming in July.
