Kamala Harris avoids questions about Biden's mental decline: 'Joe Biden is not on the ballot'

Vice President Kamala Harris faced questions about her knowledge of President Biden's mental decline during her interview with Fox News' Bret Baier on Wednesday.

“You told a lot of interviewers that Joe Biden did his best, that he went around in circles on his staff. When did you first notice that President Biden's mental faculties seemed to be weakened?” Baier asked.

After a brief pause in answering the question, Harris continued to tout Biden's abilities in office.

“Joe Biden, I have watched from the Oval Office to the Situation Room, and he has the judgment and experience to do exactly what he did, making very important decisions on behalf of the American people,” Harris said .

“No concerns were expressed?” Baier followed.

“Bret, Joe Biden is not on the ballot…and Donald Trump is,” Harris replied.

The “Special Report” host then quoted comments from actor George Clooney, who said in the now-infamous New York Times op-ed that the president is no longer the same Joe Biden he once knew after previously spending time with him at a fundraiser had spent this year with him.

“They met with him at least once a week for three and a half years. “Didn’t you have any concerns?” Baier pressed.

“I think the American people have concerns about Donald Trump,” Harris responded. “That's why everyone who knows him best, including the leaders of our national security community, even the people who worked for him in the Oval Office, worked with him in the Situation Room, have come forward and said he was unsuitable and dangerous. He should never be president of the United States again, nor should his former vice president. Therefore, the choice of another vice president was open to him. That is a fact.

President Biden's critics have long targeted his mental capacity throughout his presidency, something that has been roundly rejected by Democrats and members of the legacy media.

But that changed after Biden's disastrous performance in the CNN presidential debate against former President Trump, which led to his dramatic exit from the 2024 race and the sudden rise of Harris to the top of the Democratic ticket.
