More than three-fifths of Americans believe Vice President Kamala Harris was involved in covering up President Joe Biden’s declining health, two polls found.
President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he was dropping out of the presidential race, and Harris secured enough verbal support from Democratic National Convention delegates on Monday to be the presumptive nominee. The polls, conducted after Biden’s withdrawal but before his Wednesday speech to the country, showed a supermajority of Americans think Harris was involved in concealing Biden’s declining cognitive and physical condition.

A poll by YouGov for The Times showed that 54% of respondents believed that Biden’s health issues were covered up, with 68% of those respondents saying they felt Harris had “a great deal” to do with concealing the truth about Biden’s health. Another poll conducted by The Democracy Institute and Daily Express US found that 62% of Americans felt Harris “lied” to the American public about the president’s health.
The YouGov poll was conducted between July 22-23, surveyed 1,170 registered voters and has a margin of error of 3.2%. The Democracy Institute/Daily Express US poll was done of July 24, surveyed 1,200 likely voters and has a 3% margin of error.
Democrats began calling for Biden to step aside following a poor performance in a June 27 CNN debate with former President Donald Trump, where he froze and lost his train of thought. Actor George Clooney noted in a July 10 New York Times op-ed that the Biden, at a June fundraiser prior to the debate, “wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020,” but “the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”
Trump leads Harris by 1.9% in a national head-to-head matchup, according to the Real Clear Polling average of polls from July 5 to 24. Trump’s lead grows to 2.8% when Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein and independent presidential candidates Cornel West and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are included in surveys.

Readers,
Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.
Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media andjoining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopesto marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business;senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms wantto limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by ourindependence.
We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on ourhands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.
We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account.Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriatesthem -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.
One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber ofour being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.
Help us save her.
A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We havetrained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the politicalspectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at DailyCaller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News,Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.
Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or afair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.
Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office.And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossibleto ignore.
We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you —the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.
Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians,corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a newgeneration of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that thereare millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.
In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads thatwe have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we needrevenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed centwe earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience andlightning fast website you deserve.
Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reportersand editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.
We can save America together.
Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
