Kamala Harris Steers Clear of Biden’s Mental Fitness Queries: “Joe Biden Isn’t on the Ballot”
Vice President Kamala Harris has consistently emphasized President Joe Biden’s capabilities, but she faced new scrutiny during a recent interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier. Baier didn’t shy away from pressing Harris about potential concerns over Biden’s mental decline, a topic that has become increasingly prominent as the 2024 presidential election draws near.
Baier opened the discussion by referring to Harris’ previous remarks where she praised Biden’s ability to outperform his staff and remain sharp. He asked a direct question: “When did you first notice that President Biden’s cognitive abilities might be declining?”
After taking a moment to gather her thoughts, Harris remained steadfast in her defense of Biden, highlighting his decision-making skills.
Biden’s Experience at the Forefront
“I’ve seen firsthand how President Biden operates, from the Oval Office to the Situation Room,” Harris said. “He has the experience and judgment needed to make key decisions for the American people.”
When Baier followed up, asking whether concerns about Biden’s mental faculties were ever brought up within the administration, Harris pivoted quickly. “Joe Biden isn’t on the ballot this election cycle… but Donald Trump is,” she responded firmly, shifting focus from Biden’s health to the GOP front-runner.
Public Concerns Grow Over Biden’s Health
Baier also referenced a recent op-ed by actor George Clooney in The New York Times, where Clooney expressed his observations after spending time with Biden at a fundraising event earlier this year. Clooney mentioned that Biden didn’t seem like the same person he once knew.
Despite such concerns, Harris maintained her focus on Trump’s suitability for office rather than directly addressing Biden’s condition. “The American people are worried about Donald Trump,” Harris reiterated, highlighting concerns voiced by many national security leaders who believe Trump is unfit to return to the White House.
The Real Question: Who Should Lead the Country?
“The people who know Donald Trump best, including those who worked with him in the Situation Room, have all said he’s dangerous,” Harris remarked. “Even his own former vice president said Trump is unfit to be president again. That’s the truth.”
Harris’ consistent redirection to Trump rather than addressing Biden’s mental fitness directly has left many wondering whether the vice president harbors any private concerns about Biden’s ability to serve.
Regardless, as the 2024 election approaches, the focus appears to be more on Trump’s fitness for office than Biden’s—at least as far as Harris is concerned.
