According to Daily Mail, a significant portion of U.S. voters believe Vice President Kamala Harris was involved in covering up President Joe Biden's declining mental and physical health.
This belief has intensified following Biden's decision to end his reelection bid and Harris stepping in as the Democratic Party's presumed 2024 nominee.
A new poll reveals that many Americans suspect Vice President Kamala Harris had a role in concealing President Joe Biden's cognitive and physical decline.
According to the YouGov/Times of London survey, 92% of registered voters believe Harris was involved in covering up Biden's health issues. This comes after Biden, 81, ended his reelection campaign last weekend following a series of missteps and poor debate performances.
President Biden's decision to withdraw from the 2024 race has shifted the political landscape. His withdrawal came after a disastrous debate performance and numerous mistakes that left his campaign struggling. Immediately after Biden's announcement, Harris took over his campaign.
Two days later, Harris secured enough delegates to become the presumed Democratic nominee for the 2024 election. This rapid transition has led to increased scrutiny and speculation about the transparency of Biden's health. The poll, conducted on July 22 and 23, surveyed 1,170 voters to gauge public opinion on the matter.
The survey results indicate a deep-seated suspicion among voters regarding a potential cover-up. Fifty-four percent of respondents believe there was an effort to conceal Biden's health issues from the public, while 30% do not, and 16% remain unsure. A significant portion, 30%, think Biden should step down before the end of his term, allowing Harris to take over immediately.
Among those who believe in a cover-up, 68% think Harris was 'a great deal' involved, 7% think she was 'a little' involved, and 17% believe she was 'somewhat' involved. Only 4% of respondents do not think Harris was involved at all. This data highlights the widespread skepticism about the handling of Biden's health.
The poll also reveals that many Americans believe Biden's family played a significant role in keeping his health issues a secret. A combined 96% of registered voters who think there was a cover-up blame the president's family, including First Lady Jill Biden. Additionally, 88% blame news and media outlets, and 92% say Democrats in Congress were also involved.
These findings suggest a broad perception of a coordinated effort to protect Biden's image and maintain his viability as a candidate. The public's concern over transparency is evident, as the switch in the 2024 election has raised questions about the integrity of those involved in Biden's campaign.
Harris's swift assumption of Biden's campaign leadership has further fueled speculation and controversy. As the new presumed Democratic nominee, she faces the challenge of addressing these concerns while campaigning for the presidency. The poll results reflect the difficulties she may encounter in gaining the trust of voters who doubt her involvement in the cover-up.
Many Americans believe that multiple parties, including news outlets and Congress, were involved in hiding Biden's health issues. Harris faces a significant trust deficit as she transitions to the 2024 nominee, necessitating transparency in her campaign. The poll indicates a demand for accountability and truth regarding Biden's health.
The recent YouGov/Times of London poll highlights a pervasive belief among U.S. voters that Vice President Kamala Harris played a role in covering up President Joe Biden's declining health. Following Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 race and Harris's assumption of his campaign, skepticism and suspicion have grown. The poll results indicate that many Americans believe multiple parties, including Biden's family and media outlets, were involved in the cover-up. As Harris prepares for her presidential campaign, she faces the challenge of addressing these concerns and restoring public trust.
