A video published on social media over the weekend showed Vice President Kamala Harris covering up President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline in numerous interviews and public remarks over the last year and a half.
The video comes after a Wall Street Journal poll published last week found that 80% of voters believe that Biden is “too old” to run again for president following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump.
At least nine Democrats have publicly called on Biden to quit his re-election campaign. Polling has also shown Trump beginning to build a lead on Biden that will be difficult to defeat this fall.
News reports have said that Democrats are willing to coalesce around Harris as the party’s nominee if Biden drops out and gives her his blessing.
As talk continues to swirl about whether Harris could replace Biden, many have started to point out that she has covered up his cognitive decline over the last couple of years as she would have been able to see it up close in person, given her proximity to the president and regular interactions with him.
Republican strategist Steve Guest posted a video showing Harris repeatedly defending Biden against concerns over his age and his mental fitness for office.
The video includes Harris making the following remarks:

WATCH: Over 6 minutes of Kamala Harris covering up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
For years, she said Biden is “very bold and vibrant” and is “tireless in terms of working.” Kamala claimed Biden “is gonna be fine,” and said he “is in good shape, in good health.”
