Kamala still doesn’t have an answer even years later.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris appeared visibly rattled during a BBC interview Sunday after being pressed on what she knew — or didn’t know — about President Joe Biden’s declining health and his doomed 2024 re-election campaign.
Harris squirmed as BBC host Laura Kuenssberg repeatedly asked whether she ever raised concerns about Biden’s ability to continue running and if she was deliberately kept in the dark by senior Democrats protecting the former president.
“There is a very serious difference between the capacity to be president and the capacity to run for president,” Harris said nervously, attempting to draw a distinction few found convincing.
Dodging Accountability
Harris admitted she worried about Biden’s stamina on the campaign trail, but claimed she never questioned his ability to lead the nation. She also said she hesitated to speak up out of fear it might seem “self-serving.”
Kuenssberg pushed back hard, noting that global media — including outlets in the U.K. — had long been raising questions about Biden’s health months before he dropped out. The interviewer described Harris’s silence as “extraordinary,” pressing why she didn’t act sooner.
When confronted with that contradiction, Harris deflected again, arguing that running for office requires more “energy and endurance” than serving as president — a statement that left even liberal viewers puzzled.
Democrats in Damage Control
The exchange comes as Democrats face mounting criticism for hiding Biden’s frailty from the American public. Many voters believe top officials, including Harris, knowingly misled the nation to protect the party’s image.
“It’s not about age,” Harris said, “but about the demands of the campaign.”
That explanation did little to calm outrage among critics who see her response as proof of a White House cover-up and growing Democratic dysfunction.
Hinting at a Comeback
In what sounded like an early campaign tease, Harris boldly declared, “I am not done.”
She described her life as one of “public service,” saying it’s “in my bones.”
Political insiders immediately speculated that she’s eyeing another run for the presidency, despite her poor approval ratings and a record many see as politically toxic.
Back to Trump-Bashing
True to form, Harris closed the interview by attacking President Donald Trump, calling him a “tyrant” and accusing business leaders of “bowing” to his leadership.
Her comments drew laughter from conservative viewers who saw it as the same tired Democratic playbook — distract from internal chaos by vilifying Trump.
The Bottom Line
Kamala Harris’s awkward BBC interview underscored what many Americans already believe — that the Biden-Harris era has been marked by denial, dysfunction, and deceit.
With Democrats scrambling to rewrite history, Harris’s stumble served as a reminder that the party’s leadership crisis isn’t over — it’s only beginning.
