Vice President Kamala Harris has defended President Joe Biden's mental competency over the past several months leading up to the presidential debate.
In the months leading up to President Joe Biden's devastating debate performance, Vice President Kamala Harris made several efforts to affirm and defend his mental acuity, according to a new Fox News Digital analysis. Questions posed to Harris over Biden's mental competency were raised frequently beginning in the fall of 2023, as the president made recurring comments at public events that sparked concerns over his fitness ahead of the election year. The president is 81.
The vice president, who is being floated as the leading replacement for Biden should he be replaced as the nominee, said in January that 'we've got to get beyond' the question of the president's age. 'So this whole issue that they are raising about his age is, again, because they've got nothing to run on,' Harris said during a one-on-one with Katie Couric during her podcast, 'Next Question with Katie Couric,' on iHeartRadio.
Last night, President Joe Biden and Donald Trump had their first debate, and earlier today the president said himself it was not his best performance,' Harris told voters in Las Vegas after the debate. 'This race will not be decided by one night in June.' Fox News Digital reached out to Harris for comment but did not hear back at press time.
