Vice President Kamala Harris may be developing a trust problem with the electorate. Two recent polls have indicated that many Americans believe Vice President Kamala Harris deceived the public regarding President Joe Biden’s health and cognitive issues.
The allegations have intensified following Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race, positioning Harris as the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination.
The Daily Caller reports:
More than three-fifths of Americans believe Vice President Kamala Harris was involved in covering up President Joe Biden’s declining health, two polls found.
President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he was dropping out of the presidential race, and Harris secured enough verbal support from Democratic National Convention delegates on Monday to be the presumptive nominee. The polls, conducted after Biden’s withdrawal but before his Wednesday speech to the country, showed a supermajority of Americans think Harris was involved in concealing Biden’s declining cognitive and physical condition.
A poll by YouGov for The Times showed that 54% of respondents believed that Biden’s health issues were covered up, with 68% of those respondents saying they felt Harris had “a great deal” to do with concealing the truth about Biden’s health. Another poll conducted by The Democracy Institute and Daily Express US found that 62% of Americans felt Harris “lied” to the American public about the president’s health.
The YouGov poll was conducted between July 22-23, surveyed 1,170 registered voters and has a margin of error of 3.2%. The Democracy Institute/Daily Express US poll was done of July 24, surveyed 1,200 likely voters and has a 3% margin of error.
In April, Biden revealed that he was not in control of the White House and that senior staffers and their communications teams were running the country.
The polling results underscore a significant erosion of trust among the electorate, posing a considerable challenge for the Democratic Party. The perception that Kamala Harris participated in obscuring President Biden’s health issues completely undermines Harris’ credibility.
While many journalists and academics have pretended that Joe Biden stepped away from the nomination in a George Washington-like decision to “save democracy,” several reports over the past three weeks have pointed to more nefarious maneuvers by the Democratic elite.
Earlier in the week, for example, New Conservative Post revealed that Nancy Pelosi threatened to remove Joe Biden from office via the 25th Amendment, telling the sitting president that “we can do it the easy way or the hard way.”
