Vice President Kamala Harris avoided answering a question in an interview that aired Tuesday night about President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
NBC News’ Hallie Jackson asked Harris about Biden dropping out of the race following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump in which he displayed severe cognitive impairments.
“You defended him in the days before and in the days after as you were campaigning for another four years for President Biden,” Jackson said.

“Of course,” Harris responded slowly. “Joe Biden is an — extremely accomplished, experienced, and capable in every way that anyone would want if they’re president. Absolutely.”
