President Joe Biden is admitting to delegating much of his domestic and foreign policy to Vice President Kamala Harris amid ongoing concerns about the 81-year-old's fitness for public office.
"As vice president, there wasn't a single thing that I did that she couldn't do, and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy," Biden said, seemingly acknowledging that Harris implemented much of his government's deeply unpopular agenda.
Since replacing Biden as the Democratic Party's 2024 presidential nominee in July, Harris has sought to distance herself from her boss.
President Biden has repeatedly resisted Harris's attempts to evade blame, telling reporters in August that Harris is "Not going to" run away from his disastrous economic record.
In addition to the potential impacts on the presidential race, Biden's televised comments are renewing concerns regarding his advanced age and cognitive decline.
The Democratic Party rebellion resulted in Biden ending his re-election bid through a post on X on July 21.The National Pulse reported just days after Biden exited the 2024 race that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe his cognitive decline constitutes a national security threat.
Harris is also facing scrutiny over allegations she and other White House officials have worked to hide Biden's mental impairment from the American people.
