Biden’s 'decline': GOP lawmakers question what Kamala knew and when she knew it

House Republicans are questioning whether Vice President Kamala Harris was aware of any signs of cognitive decline in President Biden before his performance in last month’s presidential debate prompted similar concerns among the wider public.

"I don’t see how anybody in the president's inner circle could not have known about his cognitive decline," House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital when asked about Harris.

McCaul, who’s met with Biden twice since he took office in January 2021, said, during the second meeting earlier this year, the president "didn’t seem to quite comprehend things very well."

"It was very noticeable to the members of the meeting. There was something — maybe he was just having a bad day," McCaul said.

Other GOP lawmakers were more pointed in their criticism of Harris, pointing to reports she and Biden had been together in small group settings, including one-on-one lunches.

"If you look at video from six months ago, three months ago, when she continued to appear before large groups of people and say, ‘The president’s fine, he's doing great,’ you know, they were all in on this," Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., said. "As a result of that, you know, we find ourselves in the really strange position of not knowing whether or not he can fulfill his duties."

Harris announced Sunday she would be running for president after the 81-year-old Biden dropped out of the race.
