“A heartbeat away from being" nghĩa là gì?

“A heartbeat (away) from being (something)” = chỉ còn cách một nhịp tim nữa thôi -> nghĩa là sắp trám vào vị trí (lãnh đạo) mà sếp hoặc người tiền nhiệm sắp bỏ trống (thường ý là đang hấp hối, sắp chết).

Ví dụ

Senator Kamala Harris of California, Biden’s running mate, also made history, becoming the first woman and the first Black person elected vice president. Harris, 56, is also of Indian descent (thế hệ, dòng dõi), adding to the historic nature of the first term senator’s meteoric ascent (sự đi lên nhanh chóng) to national office, placing the former state attorney general a heartbeat away from being commander-in-chief of the world’s most mighty military (quân đội mạnh nhất thế giới).

As millions of Americans celebrate this history-making moment, a double-digit percentage of Americans felt the world landed on top of them with Biden’s announcement. Timelines on the internet will be full of racist comment sabout Sen. Harris. As we saw with the campaign and election of Barack Obama, many Americans showed their true feelings about Black people. This has not stopped since he has left office. Racist Americans have been emboldened by sympathizers and supporters. You will hear insult you can think of hurled at Sen. Harris in the coming months.

Sen. Kamala Harris is the failed presidential candidate and Mr. Biden’s choice for vice president. Check her stated presidential progressive-socialist agenda. The first-term senator is considered the most progressive liberal in the Senate. She would be a heartbeat away from being the president. Is she really qualified to step in as president? What are Joe Biden’s and especially Sen. Harris’ positions respecting: packing the Supreme Court; socialism and market capitalism; the out-of-control, $28 trillion national debt; the threats of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and radical Islam? How specifically would they resolve the COVID-19-20 Pandemic? What would they do that President Trump has not done and will continue to do? Do you want a socialist-progression takeover of our people and nation?
