Kamala Harris takes on presidential role - briefly - as Biden has colonoscopy

Kamala Harris on Friday morning became the first woman to wield presidential power in the US – temporarily, when Joe Biden had a colonoscopy under anesthetic.

In a statement, the White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, said: “This morning, the president will travel to Walter Reed Medical Center for a routine physical. While he is there, the president will undergo a routine colonoscopy.

“… The vice-president will work from her office in the West Wing during this time.”

Biden left the White House before 9am. The White House said it would share results of his physical.
