Describing the embattled president as a "fighter" Harris during her speech at a Las Vegas event focused on Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communitieswarned that Biden's rival, Republican Donald Trump would turn America into a 'dictatorship' if re-elected to the White House.
Joe Biden is a 'fighter'
Speaking at a campaign event in Nevada, Harris referred to questions around Biden's age and the rumours about his ability to lead the country and said: "We always knew this election would be tough, and the past few days have been a reminder that running for President of the United States is never easy."

"But the one thing we know about our president, Joe Biden, is that he is a fighter. He is a fighter, and he is the first to say, when you get knocked down, you get back up," she added.
Harris said that American voters face the "most existential, consequential and important election of our lifetime".
