After President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech in March, concerns about his ability to fulfill his duties at 81 years old seemed to have been put to rest. However, following a poor showing in a recent debate with former President Donald Trump, doubts have resurfaced about his fitness for office. Some Democratic lawmakers who have interacted with Biden up close have expressed concerns about his capacity to hold office, citing memory lapses, incoherence, and a vacant look. Despite efforts by a large team of aides to shield him from potential embarrassments, the debate exposed these vulnerabilities to the public. In response, Biden is scrambling to demonstrate his competency and regain the confidence of the American people. He faces criticism for his lackluster debate performance and needs to prove that he can handle the demands of the presidency. While some lawmakers remain confident in Biden’s cognitive abilities, others see a more diminished figure and doubt his ability to continue in the race. Even as the president gears up for a crucial interview with ABC News, scheduled to address these concerns, the fallout from the debate has already negatively impacted his campaign. Ultimately, Biden’s ability to overcome this crisis and win back public trust will determine the fate of his candidacy and his legacy.
