Sources close to President Biden have observed multiple incidents suggesting cognitive decline over the last six months.
This has led to significant debate within the Democratic Party and the media about Biden's ability to continue his presidential run.
As reported by Fox News, anonymous sources, reportedly close to Biden, claim to have witnessed 15 to 20 instances of cognitive decline. These individuals, many of whom are ardent supporters and significant fundraisers for Biden, insist that these public instances are not isolated events. They argue that Biden's cognitive decline has been noticeable in the last six months.
Following Biden's Supreme Court immunity ruling address, Carl Bernstein discussed these concerns on CNN. Bernstein highlighted that despite Biden's strong moments, there have been notable cognitive and physical declines, especially recently. Concerns were reportedly raised with Ron Klain, a top Biden ally, during debate preparations at Camp David.
An incident at a fundraiser a year ago was specifically mentioned, where Biden appeared very stiff and needed a chair to continue the event. Despite these concerns, Biden's national security meetings were described by some as instances where he has been "sharp." The White House and the Biden campaign did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
Biden's recent debate performance has led to widespread calls from the liberal media for him to withdraw from the presidential race. The New York Times editorial board suggested that Biden’s greatest public service would be to announce he will not seek re-election. Despite the concern, top Democrats, including former President Obama, have rallied behind Biden, emphasizing the stakes of the upcoming election.
Carl Bernstein relayed the sentiments of Biden's supporters:
There was a fundraiser at which he started at the podium. And then he became very stiff, according to the people there, as if it were almost a kind of rigor mortis. This was a year ago almost exactly at the old Four Seasons restaurant on Park Avenue. And he became very stiff and a chair had to be brought for him to do the latter part of the event.
The discussion around Biden's cognitive health has caused significant turmoil within the Democratic Party and the media. Some argue that these issues need to be explored more deeply, while others believe Biden is still fit for office. The debate has also prompted a flurry of calls for Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.
Despite the controversy, top Democrats are showing public support for Biden. Obama, in a statement, downplayed the significance of Biden's debate performance, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming election.
Obama stated:
Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November.
The New York Times editorial board has suggested that Biden should consider stepping down for the greater good. They argue that his greatest public service would be to announce he will not seek re-election. This sentiment echoes the concerns of those close to Biden who have witnessed his cognitive decline.
Biden's supporters, however, remain steadfast. They continue to back him, highlighting his accomplishments and the importance of his leadership. The debate over Biden's cognitive health and his ability to lead the country remains a contentious issue within the Democratic Party.
Concerns about President Biden's cognitive health have sparked significant debate within the Democratic Party and the media. Anonymous sources close to Biden report multiple instances of cognitive decline over the past year and a half. Despite these concerns, top Democrats, including former President Obama, have rallied behind Biden. The controversy has led to calls for Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, though his supporters continue to emphasize his leadership and accomplishments. The debate over Biden's cognitive health and his ability to lead the country is likely to continue as the election approaches.
