Vice President Kamala Harris avoided giving a clear answer when asked if she witnessed signs of President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. The question arose during an interview with NBC News’ Hallie Jackson, who pressed Harris about Biden’s poor debate performance against President Donald Trump.
Harris praised Biden’s qualifications and experience but did not directly respond to whether she had seen cognitive issues behind closed doors. Instead, she referred to Biden as “extremely accomplished” without addressing the heart of the question.
When Jackson asked again if Harris noticed any cognitive decline, Harris avoided the topic, calling the debate “a bad debate.” Jackson highlighted that the debate led to Biden stepping aside, allowing Harris to become the top Democratic candidate.
The interview has led to increased speculation about Biden’s mental fitness during his presidency. Harris’ reluctance to provide a straightforward answer has drawn criticism from those who believe the public deserves more transparency.
As Harris continues her presidential campaign, this issue could become a significant point of discussion.
