Vice President Kamala Harris seemed to encounter challenges once more when addressing a question about how her administration would distinguish itself from that of the Biden-Harris administration during an interview aired by NBC News.

During her discussion with anchor Hallie Jackson, Harris also faced difficulties in answering inquiries concerning President Joe Biden’s noticeable cognitive decline since he assumed office, his capacity to continue in his role, and his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump in June.

“The reason that you are at the top of this ticket is because he dropped out of this race,” Jackson told Harris before adding: “You defended him in the days before and the days after as you were campaigning for another four years for President Biden.”

Harris asserted that Biden remains capable of fulfilling his duties, even though it is evident to the American public that his mental and physical deterioration is significant at this point.

“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?” Jackson asked.

Remarkably, Harris responded: “Of course. Joe Biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced, and capable in every way that anyone would want if they’re president.” As for his performance against Trump, Harris added, “It was a bad debate.”

Jackson reminded Harris again that Biden’s debate is “the reason you’re here and he’s not running for the top of the ticket.” Going back to her original question, Jackson asked: “It’s a judgment question, that’s why I ask. Can the American people trust you in these moments?”
