Vice President Kamala Harris was pressed about whether she was forthcoming to the American people about President Biden's mental decline in an interview with NBC News' Hallie Jackson.
During Tuesday's sitdown, Jackson noted how Harris was a staunch defender of Biden's whenever she faced questions from the media about his age. She backed him as they sought reelection as the Democratic ticket before his disastrous performance at the CNN presidential debate resulted in his exit from the race.
"Can you say that you were honest with the American people about what you saw in those moments with President Biden, as you were with him again and again repeatedly in that time?"
"Of course," Harris responded. "Joe Biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced and capable in every way that anyone would want if they're president."
"You never saw anything like what happened at the debate night behind closed doors with him?" Jackson followed.
"It was a bad debate. People have bad debates," Harris replied.
"But that's the reason why you're here and he's not running for the top of the ticket," Jackson said.
"Well, you'd have to ask him if that's the only reason why," Harris responded.
