If Biden died tomorrow and Harris took over? and she won the election also. Could she work full two terms or would it count as one when Biden died?

Harris will be able to serve two terms. The 22nd amendment says:
The second clause applies to vice presidents taking over, but since there's less than two years left in Biden's term, it won't come into effect.
So hypothetically if Biden died two years into his term then Harris could serve the two plus 8?
So having previously served two years exactly is allowed.
Yes, hard cutoff is 2.5 terms or 10 years.
Wait, so you can't elect someone a third time even if it's not consecutive? For a example in Brazil it's illegal to elect someone third times in a row, but two times, someone else gets elected, then re-elect that person again is okay. In fact the current president has already been president twice in the past.
You are correct. Two term limit in the usa.
No. The US doesn't care if the terms are consecutive or not, it's a hard limit of two terms.
