In a post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump called on Vice President Kamala Harris to clarify President Joe Biden’s current ability to serve as president. Trump accused Harris of hiding the truth about Biden’s health and insisted she must confirm if Biden is fit for the presidency.
“Does Lyin’ Kamala Harris think Joe Biden is fit to run the USA for the next six months? She must answer the question. Now it appears Joe is delegating his Presidential Authority to unelected Washington Bureaucrats! He doesn’t even trust his Vice President. WHO IS RUNNING THE COUNTRY?” Trump posted.
Fox News reported that Harris has not commented on Biden’s fitness to remain in office, despite increasing speculation about his health. The president has avoided public appearances, aside from a phone call to Harris and his campaign team in Delaware.
Reporters have repeatedly sought Harris’s opinion on Biden’s ability to serve. She has the authority to invoke the 25th Amendment if Biden is deemed unable to fulfill his presidential duties.
On Sunday, Biden announced on X that he was ending his re-election campaign, releasing a letter explaining his decision. He has since stayed out of the public eye, except for a phone call in which he reassured Harris and the campaign team, stating, “The name has changed at the top of the ticket, but the mission hasn’t changed at all. And by the way, I’m not going anywhere.”
During the call, Biden expressed confidence in his decision to step down and urged the campaign to support Harris as the new candidate for president. Late Monday, Harris secured enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee ahead of the Democratic National Convention, according to an AP survey.
Since his Covid-19 diagnosis last week, Biden has not made any public appearances. On Monday, White House doctor Kevin O’Connor issued a statement confirming Biden’s improving health, noting, “President Biden completed his tenth dose of PAXLOVID this morning. His symptoms have almost resolved completely. His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature remain absolutely normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear.”
As concerns about Biden’s health continue, Harris faces growing pressure to address these issues and clarify who is currently managing the nation’s affairs.
