Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier has sparked concerns about her handling of President Joe Biden’s fitness for office. When Baier asked Harris if she had any concerns about Biden’s mental faculties, Harris declined to answer directly.
Baier referenced Harris’s past comments about former President Donald Trump, labeling him as “misguided” and “unstable,” and asked when she first noticed Biden’s mental abilities appearing diminished. Harris dodged the question, instead highlighting Biden’s experience and judgment in making important decisions.
When Baier pressed for a straight answer, Harris interjected, pointing out that Biden was “not on the ballot.” Baier countered that Harris met with Biden at least once a week for three and a half years, and asked if she had any concerns during that time. Harris shifted the focus, stating that the American people have concerns about Trump.
Baier’s questions come as Biden’s debate performance has raised eyebrows. The President appeared to stumble, spoke in a hoarse voice, and struggled to deliver his closing statement. Several Democrats, including Sen. Peter Welch and Rep. Angie Craig, have called for Biden to step down, citing concerns about his fitness for office.
Even some voters and Democrat donors, such as Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, have suggested that Biden should consider stepping aside. In July, Biden himself acknowledged that it might be in the best interest of the Democratic Party if he exited the presidential election.
Biden’s recent statement on X, in which he expressed his “full support and endorsement” for Harris to be the party’s nominee, has further fueled speculation about his intentions.
The Vice President’s handling of this situation has left many wondering if she is truly committed to supporting Biden, or if she is positioning herself for a potential presidential run in the future.
As Harris navigates this delicate situation, her responses to Baier’s questions have raised more questions than answers. By dodging the issue of Biden’s fitness, Harris has only added fuel to the fire, leaving many to wonder what she truly knows about the President’s mental abilities and whether she is willing to address the concerns of the American people.
