"Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Criticizes Harris and Becerra for Alleged Cover-Up of Biden's Cognitive Decline"

[!CDATA[Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a candidate for California governor in 2026, criticized former Vice President Kamala Harris and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra for allegedly being complicit in covering up former President Joe Biden's cognitive decline while in office. Villaraigosa suggested that this cover-up may have contributed to President Trump's victory in the November election. Becerra, a former California Attorney General, is also running for governor, and Harris is contemplating entering the race. All three are members of the Democratic Party. Villaraigosa accused Harris and Becerra of either intentionally participating in the cover-up or remaining silent about Biden's mental decline. He emphasized the importance of transparency and demanded answers regarding what Harris and Becerra knew about Biden's condition, when they knew it, and why they did not speak out. Efforts to contact representatives for Harris and Becerra were unsuccessful. Villaraigosa's statements were based on excerpts from the book "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," authored by CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson. The book, which relies heavily on anonymous sources, alleges that Biden's close associates concealed his declining health from the public, leading to the Republican victory in the 2024 presidential election. According to Villaraigosa, Harris and Becerra, who took an oath to serve and protect the American people, failed in their duty by not addressing Biden's cognitive decline. He criticized Harris for denying any issues with Biden and accused Becerra of turning a blind eye to the situation. In conclusion, the allegations made by Villaraigosa against Harris and Becerra regarding their involvement in covering up Biden's cognitive decline have raised questions about transparency and accountability in government. The upcoming gubernatorial race in California may shed more light on these claims and the candidates' responses to them.]]
