As concerns mount about President Biden's mental acuity, questions are arising about the role Vice President Kamala Harris may have played in hiding his condition from the public.
Amid growing concerns about the mental health of President Biden, The New York Times columnist Ross Douthat raised questions about the potential involvement of close advisors and family members in concealing his condition. Douthat argued that the fallout from Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race could be worsened by allegations that his health has been intentionally kept secret.
Biden's limited public appearances and unusual behavior have sparked speculation about his mental capacity to serve as president. The White House has dismissed these concerns, but Douthat suggested that a crisis could arise in the coming months, leading Democrats to regret Biden's decision to remain in office.

Douthat's column pointed out that Vice President Kamala Harris has benefited from Biden's withdrawal, boosting her standing in the polls. However, Douthat argued that the potential scandal over Biden's health may overshadow the benefits for Harris in the long run.
Despite the concerns about Biden's health, the White House has maintained that he is fit to serve and that his schedule is scaled down to prioritize his health. However, Douthat believes that the lack of transparency surrounding Biden's condition raises questions about how the White House is operating and whether Biden is truly capable of handling the demands of the presidency.

Douthat argued that instead of addressing the serious concerns about Biden's ability to serve, the Biden administration has opted to portray him as a paragon of "self-sacrifice." This strategy has allowed Harris to benefit from positive coverage and improved poll numbers.
However, Douthat warned that the "bargain" of concealing Biden's deterioration may not be sustainable in the long run. He suggested that the incentives for those who want to see Trump defeated favor avoiding further discussions about the cover-up.

Despite the lack of official response from the White House, Fox News has obtained accounts from Americans who expressed concerns about Harris' involvement in hiding Biden's condition. These individuals questioned whether Harris had been complicit in misleading the public about the president's health.
As the debate over Biden's health continues, it remains unclear whether Harris will be able to maintain her newfound popularity if allegations of concealment are substantiated. The potential scandal has cast a shadow over Harris' aspirations and raised questions about the integrity of the Biden administration.
