A recent CBS News report has ignited widespread discussion following comments made by Joe Biden's brother, Frank Biden.
Frank confirmed that Joe Biden's health played a major role in his decision to step down from his campaign, fueling speculation and concern, Breitbart reported.
The media narrative suggests that Joe Biden's decline began with his demanding trip to Europe and the subsequent debate schedule.
However, many argue that Biden's struggles have been evident for some time. Approximately a year into his administration, Biden began exhibiting signs of forgetfulness and difficulty during public briefings. His first State of the Union Address further highlighted his cognitive decline to the public.
The debate brought these issues to the forefront, causing alarm within the Democratic Party about Biden's ability to challenge Trump effectively.
His plummeting poll numbers, coupled with the assassination attempt on Trump and Biden's bout with COVID-19, culminated in Biden's decision to withdraw from the election on Sunday morning.
Frank Biden's comments to CBS News shed light on the personal side of Joe Biden's decision. "Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left. He is a genuine hero," Frank stated, implying the seriousness of Biden's health issues. He further asserted that Joe's health "absolutely" influenced the decision to step down.
However, a source close to the family countered Frank's statements, claiming that Frank, who struggles with alcoholism, has not been in contact with his brother recently and that his comments about Biden's health are untrue.
Conclusion
The situation raises questions about the internal dynamics of the Democratic Party and the potential use of the 25th Amendment to pressure Biden into withdrawing.
The unfolding story continues to prompt critical reflections on leadership and transparency in U.S. politics.
