Democrats Stunned by Biden's Health Condition
In the twilight of his presidency, concerns regarding the mental and physical capabilities of U.S. President Joe Biden have surfaced among Democrats, according to a recently released book by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. Titled "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," the book offers insights into Biden's decreasing capabilities, digitally shielded from public scrutiny.
The authors claim that, in the last two years of Biden's presidency, he has experienced moments of losing train of thought, incoherent speech, and memory lapses, forgetting the names of his closest aides. According to the book, these issues were carefully concealed to preserve the image of aiable president fit to continue in office.
The book provides examples of such incidents, detailed instances where Democratic lawmakers, White House staff, and members of Biden's cabinet were left shocked by the President's diminishing mental and physical abilities. It vividly describes the disastrous re-election campaign that few dared to challenge, despite clear indications that the president may not be in the best health.
A highlight in the book is the presidential debate in 2024, where it suggests that Biden's performance was not an anomaly but rather a representation of an 81-year-old man whose abilities had been waning for years. The decline in Biden's health, according to Tapper and Thompson, was justified by the president's team out of fear of a second term for Donald Trump and a self-interest to maintain control.
Based on over 200 interviews with Democratic insiders conducted after the 2024 election, the book has been causing ripples, raising questions about the President's health and decision-making process. The book was published on Tuesday and offers a candid depiction of Biden's mental and physical state during his last years in office.
Biden's age and health have been an increasing focus in recent days, with his diagnosis of an aggressive form of prostate cancer spreading to his bones on Sunday. His family and doctors are currently reviewing treatment options. The diagnosis has sparked sympathy and calls for transparency, with former President Donald Trump voicing support for Biden's recovery.
Debate continues regarding Biden's decision to run for re-election, with Vice President JD Vance questioning whether the president was able to perform his duties effectively due to his health concerns. Critics argue that putting an old, often confused man back into the Oval Office was not in the best interest of the nation.
In light of the book's release, the President's team has maintained that Biden was a highly effective president and denied any cover-up of negative information or compromised ability to perform his duties. However, the revelations in the book paint a picture of a president struggling to keep up with the demands of his role, a fact that has left many questioning the wisdom of his re-election bid.
