Kamala Avoids Addressing Biden’s Health in Interview

(DailyChive.com) – During an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris faced tough questions from anchor Bret Baier about President Joe Biden’s mental sharpness. Baier asked Harris directly if she had noticed any signs of Biden’s cognitive decline.

“You’ve said before that President Biden was sharp and quick on his feet. When did you first notice that his mental abilities seemed to have slipped?” Baier questioned.

Harris paused briefly before defending Biden’s abilities. “I’ve seen Joe Biden lead from the Oval Office and in the Situation Room. He has the experience and judgment needed to make tough decisions for the American people,” she said.

When Baier pressed further, asking if there had been any signs of concern, Harris shifted the focus. “Bret, Joe Biden isn’t on the ballot. But Donald Trump is,” she responded.

Baier mentioned a recent comment by actor George Clooney, who said that Biden seemed different from the man he once knew after seeing him at a fundraiser. Harris, however, remained firm in her response.

“You’ve met with him regularly for over three years. You didn’t see anything troubling?” Baier asked again.

Harris responded by redirecting the conversation toward Trump. “What Americans are concerned about is Donald Trump. Even people who worked closely with him have said he is dangerous and unfit to lead. His former vice president has also spoken out, making it clear that Trump should never be president again. Those are the facts,” she insisted.

Biden’s mental health has been a frequent topic of debate throughout his presidency, with critics questioning his fitness for office. However, Democrats have consistently defended Biden’s abilities.

The conversation around Biden’s mental acuity intensified after his poor performance in a CNN presidential debate against former President Trump. Following the debate, Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, leaving Harris to take the lead on the Democratic ticket.

Harris continues to emphasize Biden’s leadership skills, despite growing concerns about his age and performance. As the election approaches, she has been focusing on contrasting Biden’s record with Trump’s past leadership, hoping to shift the focus away from lingering questions about Biden’s health.
