Vice President Kamala Harris dodged a question regarding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during a recent interview. NBC News’ Hallie Jackson questioned Harris about Biden’s mental fitness following his weak debate performance against President Donald Trump, which contributed to his decision to drop out of the race.
Harris responded by praising Biden, describing him as “accomplished” and capable. However, she did not directly address whether she had observed cognitive issues in Biden during their time working together.
Jackson pressed further, asking if Harris had witnessed anything behind the scenes that was similar to Biden’s struggle during the debate. Harris avoided answering directly, instead saying it was “a bad debate.”
This non-answer has led to renewed speculation about Biden’s cognitive health, with critics questioning Harris’ transparency. As Harris continues her campaign for president, these concerns may continue to linger.
The lack of a clear response has fueled further discussion about Biden’s mental fitness and whether Harris has been fully honest with the public.
