Vice President Kamala Harris faced tough questions during a heated interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, particularly regarding President Joe Biden ’s mental fitness. Despite the pressure, she defended him, saying that he possesses the "judgment and expertise" necessary to make decisions for the American people. This exchange marked Harris's first interview on Fox, quickly turning into a back-and-forth as Baier pressed her on whether she had any "concerns" about the President's mental health.
When questioned about Biden’s cognitive abilities, Harris was unequivocal in her support. “Joe Biden, I have watched from the Oval Office to the Situation Room, and he has the judgement and experience to do exactly what he has done in making very important decisions on behalf of the American people,” she stated firmly. When Baier inquired if any concerns had been raised regarding Biden’s mental faculties, Harris responded, “Joe Biden is not on the ballot.
” Despite Baier referencing remarks from public figures like George Clooney, who suggested Biden’s performance was lacking, Harris maintained her defense. “I think the American people have a concern about Donald Trump , which is why the people who know him best, including leaders of our national security community, have all spoken out,” she said, shifting the focus to Trump’s perceived instability. “He’s not stable,” Harris added.
The discussion quickly became heated as Baier pressed Harris on various policy issues, including immigration and her shifting stances since her 2020 presidential bid. Harris also used the interview to distance herself from the notion that her presidency would be a mere continuation of Biden’s. “My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency,” she declared, saying that that she would bring “fresh and new ideas” to the White House.
While she did not outline specific differences, Harris made clear that her administration would turn a new page, reflecting her own experiences and leadership approach..
