Nearly three-quarters of Americans believe Kamala Harris knew about Biden’s mental decline: poll 

A vast majority of Americans believe Vice President Kamala Harris was aware of President Biden’s mental decline before he dropped out of the 2024 race last month, according to a new poll. 

The Fox News survey, released Thursday, found that 73% of voters feel Harris knew about the 81-year-old president’s fading acuity for the last couple of years. 

Only 21% said the 59-year-old vice president was in the dark about Biden’s diminished faculties, which culminated in a disastrous June debate performance against former President Donald Trump that sparked Democrats to call for his ouster. 

Majorities in both parties, including 58% of Democrats, 90% of Republicans and 69% of independents, indicated they felt Harris must’ve been aware of Biden’s state. 

The poll’s findings echo claims from Trump, 78, and other Republicans that Harris and top Democrats have long shielded Biden’s declining mental sharpness from the public. 

“Joe, Kamala and the entire Democrat establishment have been caught red handed in the thick of the biggest scandal and the biggest cover up,” the former president said at a Florida rally last month, before Biden had dropped out of the race. 

“It’s the biggest cover up in political history,” Trump added, calling the alleged conspiracy a “sinister plot to defraud the American public about the cognitive abilities of the man in the Oval Office.”

However, most voters don’t feel Biden’s decline is so bad that he must resign from office immediately. 

Two-thirds of voters (67%) think the president should finish up his term rather than step down from the presidency, the poll showed. 

Only 32% indicated that Biden should resign now that he’s ended his re-election bid. 

Harris tagged along with Biden Thursday to celebrate the announcement of lowering the price of 10 different prescription drugs for senior citizens enrolled in Medicare Part D, in what marked their first joint appearance since the president dropped out of the race and endorsed the vice president to run in his stead.
