Vice President Kamala Harris has defended President Biden’s mental competency over the past several months leading up to the presidential debate.
In the months leading up to President 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.
Harris suggested that “what’s on his birth certificate in terms of his age” is not “the measure of the man”, when asked about Biden’s age in a November 2023 Sirius XM interview.
“Let’s not get distracted. Let’s look at whether we have a president that’s actually produced, and followed through on his commitments and especially on long-standing issues that needed to be addressed”, Harris said. “Joe Biden has done that. That’s the measure of the man. Not what’s on his birth certificate in terms of his age.”
After several gaffes in 2023 – including Biden falling at the Air Force Academy commencement ceremony in June, referring to the Grand Canyon as one of the “nine” wonders of the world in August and claiming he was at Ground Zero the day after 9/11 in September despite records showing he was in Washington, D.
