Reporter humiliates Kamala Harris over Biden health cover-up: 'That is a world-class pivot'
Failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was confronted in a tense exchange with a journalist who called her out for evading questions about former President Joe Biden's "frailties."
Harris was challenged by Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Sarah Ferguson on Biden's decline that all Americans witnessed yet no Democrat leaders publicly acknowledged. Because of the party's silence on the issue, Ferguson asked Harris how the cover-up affected her campaign.
'Are you still reluctant to criticize the former president?'
"Wasn't [Joe Biden's] refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?" Ferguson asked.
Rather than admitting to the frailties that the American public saw with their own eyes, Harris retreated by changing the subject to Trump.

"I ran against Donald Trump for president," Harris responded. "And Donald Trump ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe, misrepresenting his intentions to the American people. I do believe that there are a fair number of people that voted for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them that his first priority on day one was going to be to bring down prices. And he didn't. And you combine that misrepresentation of intention with also what was at play in terms of massive amounts of mis- and disinformation."
In the middle of Harris' rambling response, Ferguson called out the failed candidate for avoiding her question entirely.
"I want to interrupt you because that is a world-class pivot," Ferguson said, "but it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden's failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you. The question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to criticize the former president?"

As Ferguson pointed out, Harris and even former staffers from the Biden administration seem reluctant to point out the obvious weaknesses of the former president.
"He was not frail as president of the United States," Harris replied.
"But he had frailties," Ferguson pushed back. "We all saw the debate."
Harris, with a stunned expression, made a last-ditch attempt to defend Biden's fitness for office.
"I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to be president of the United States, and I've never doubted that he had the capacity to be president of the United States," Harris said.
"If you want to talk about whether he had the ability to endure what a race for president of the United States would require in that political environment, in 2024, as I've said in the book, I had concerns."

'Whiny' Kamala Harris teases presidential run despite polling worse than the Rock
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has teased another presidential run despite her historic 2024 loss and widespread unpopularity.
Even after her brutal electoral loss in November, Harris said in a recent interview that her political career was "not done" and that serving in public office was "in [her] bones."
'They put you as an outsider, even behind Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.'
"I am not done," Harris said. "I have lived my entire career a life of service, and it's in my bones, and there are many ways to serve."
"I have not decided yet what I will do in the future beyond what I am doing right now."
Although Harris teased the idea of being the first female president, the interviewer gave her a blunt reality check. The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg pushed back, pointing out that she's simply not popular enough to be a politically viable candidate.
"But when you look at the bookies' odds, they put you as an outsider, even behind Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson," Kuenssberg said. "I mean, is that underestimating you?"
"I think there are all kinds of polls that will tell you a variety of things," Harris said. "I've never listened to polls. If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office or my second office. And I certainly wouldn't be sitting here in this interview."
Losing to Trump in all seven swing states and in the popular vote indicated a resounding rejection from the American people. Even still, Harris seems to remain hopeful of the presidency, which critics attribute to simple self-delusion.
"Kamala came across as a whiny, delusional, angry and bitter woman who cannot accept that she was a terrible candidate who got the shellacking she deserved at the ballot box," Piers Morgan said in a post on X. "No chance she ever gets another go at it."

Although Harris made clear that preliminary polls won't deter her from weighing her options, the failed candidate may have some stiff competition.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California also hinted at a presidential bid in a recent interview with CBS, saying he would be lying if he didn't acknowledge the possibility.
"Who the hell knows?" Newsom said. "I'm looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment. That's the question for the American people."
When pressed about whether he would consider running after the 2026 midterms, Newsom admitted that it was a real possibility.
"Yeah, I'd be lying otherwise," Newsom replied.
