Vice President Kamala Harris is standing by her previous comments defending President Joe Biden's mental acuity — even now as she's running to replace him.

The vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate was asked by CNN whether she has any regrets about defending Biden's mental acuity amid a firestorm of skepticism following the first presidential debate.

"No, not at all," Harris told CNN reporter Dana Bash.

Harris rose to the top of the ticket after Biden dropped out of the race last month following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump in June. 

The debate, which included Biden repeatedly tripping over his words and losing his train of thought, opened the floodgates to traditional Democratic allies of the president joining conservatives in sounding the alarm over Biden's mental acuity and age. 

The vice president publicly supported Biden throughout the media circus and secured his endorsement just minutes after his own campaign came to close.

Harris dodged the question of whether Biden initially endorsed her to run in his place when he called to announce his withdrawal from the election amid mounting concern over his mental faculties. 

"What about the endorsement? Did you ask for it?" Bash asked Harris. 

"He was very clear that he was gonna support me," Harris responded. 

"So, when he called to tell you, he said, ‘I’m pulling out of the race, and I’m gonna support you?,’" Bash pressed Harris. 

"Well, my first thought was not about me, to be honest with you. My first thought was about him, to be honest. I think history is gonna show a number of things about Joe Biden’s presidency. I think history is gonna show that in so many ways, it was transformative, be it on what we have accomplished around finally investing in America’s infrastructure, investing in new economics, in new industries, what we have done to bring our allies back together, and have confidence in who we are as America, and grow that alliance, what we have done to stand true to our principles including the — the — one of the most important international rules and norms, which is the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity," she said. 

The highly anticipated sit-down marked the first interview Harris has held in 39 days, since she became the presumptive nominee. She was joined by her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for the pre-taped CNN interview that aired Thursday evening. 

Harris has largely avoided the media since ascending the Democratic ticket, only rarely answering media questions while on the campaign trail and holding no press conferences. 

Biden has spent the majority of the last two weeks on vacation at beach properties in California and Delaware.

Lawyers representing former President Donald Trump are now asking a federal court to seize his New York criminal trial from the state, arguing he has become a victim of "Constitutional violations" in proceedings that conflicted with the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity. 

The attorneys wrote in a filing Thursday that the "ongoing proceedings will continue to cause direct and irreparable harm to President Trump -- the leading candidate in the 2024 Presidential election -- and voters located far beyond Manhattan." 

"And an entirely unjust sentencing is currently scheduled to occur on September 18, 2024, which could result in President Trump’s immediate and unconstitutional incarceration and prevent him from continuing his groundbreaking campaign," they warned. 

"Post-trial removal is necessary under these circumstances to afford President Trump an unbiased forum, free from local hostilities, where he can seek redress for these Constitutional violations," the lawyers added in their bid to overturn his conviction.

In May, Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, following a six-week trial stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation into alleged hush money payments ahead of the 2016 presidential election. 

However, Trump’s attorneys wrote in their filing with U.S. District Court in Manhattan that Bragg’s office "violated the Presidential immunity doctrine in grand jury proceedings, and again at trial, by relying on evidence of President Trump’s official acts during his first term in Office."

"The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that these types of violations threaten the structure of the federal government and the ability of future Presidents to carry out their vital duties in the way the Framers intended," they said.

"In an opinion that became final less than 30 days ago, the Supreme Court held that President Trump is entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for his official acts, and -- as particularly relevant here -- that prosecutors may not use official-acts evidence in connection with a prosecution that they claim arises out of unofficial conduct," they continued. 

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital on Thursday that "The Manhattan DA’s Witch Hunt, which violates many provisions of the United States Constitution and is crushed by the Supreme Court’s historic decision on Presidential immunity, has to be removed to federal court and summarily dismissed." 

A federal judge already has rejected one attempt by Trump to move the criminal case away from New York state court, ruling in July 2023 that "Hush money paid to an adult film star is not related to a President’s official acts" and that it "does not reflect in any way the color of the President’s official duties," according to The Associated Press.
