Former Vice President Kamala Harris must explain her decision to conceal then-President Joe Biden’s failing health and obvious infirmity in the run up to the 2024 presidential election.
That’s the view of the Pennsylvania Democrat governor who is now blaming Harris for hiding former President Biden’s health problems.
“She’s going to have to answer to how she was in the room and yet never said anything publicly,” Gov. Josh Shapiro said in a new interview.
Shapiro also happens to be a guy who failed to win muster with Kamala as her running mate in favor of the inimitable Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota.
The failed VP pick took Kamala to task in a political podcast interview hosted by sports commentator and personality Stephen A. Smith.
Speaking with Shapiro, Smith had asked the governor how Americans should feel “when we hear something that we suspected but wasn’t acknowledged by politicians who were looking for our support, and then we find out later we were right, and they should have spoken up, and they should have shown more courage.”
Shapiro is widely seen as a potential 2028 presidential contender whether or not Kamala tries a comeback bid.
Though Harris won liberal southern Maine in last year’s presidential election, earning two electoral votes, Trump won the northern part of the state, garnering him one key electoral vote.
Harris, meanwhile, is characteristically waffling on whether she dropped the ball on Biden’s health.
“During all those months of growing panic, should I have told Joe to consider not running? Perhaps,” she writes in a soon-to-be released book about her disastrous campaign.
Yet again, liberal southern Maine’s Democrat choice for president goes for the equivocating word-salad buffet.
Harris became the Democrats’ ill-fated default choice for its nominee once Biden wilted in a debate against Trump.
