President Joe Biden’s moment of disorientation after a speech has sparked fresh concerns over his cognitive health. Caught on camera, Biden looked visibly lost on stage for over half a minute, intensifying calls for him to undergo a cognitive assessment—a suggestion he has repeatedly dismissed.
The incident adds to a series of public moments that have left many questioning the President’s mental sharpness. Despite ongoing reassurances from his campaign that concerns are exaggerated, incidents like these continue to fuel public and political debate.
Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee is not sitting idle, actively beginning campaigns that seem aimed at diverting attention by focusing on potential vice presidential contenders against Donald Trump. The move comes as internal anxieties within the party grow, perhaps in response to Biden’s public appearances.
Further stirring the pot, a Wall Street Journal article last Wednesday cited unnamed sources claiming Biden has shown “signs of slipping” in private settings. For instance, during a pivotal January meeting about Ukraine funding, Biden’s soft-spoken manner and lengthy pauses made it hard for some attendees to follow, raising more doubts about his engagement levels.
WATCH:
Moreover, in a February discussion in the Oval Office, Biden allegedly downplayed a significant policy change affecting energy projects as merely a study, leading to concerns from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) about Biden’s grasp on his own administration’s policies.
As Biden’s public and private missteps accumulate, the chorus of voices questioning his fitness for office is only getting louder.
REACTIONS:
Our adversaries are watching things like this, and they are planning their next move knowing that the leader of the free world is not well.

I think Joe Biden should retire and spend some time with his family after a very long career in politics.

Look at that strong, decisive leader!
A man who really knows where he's going!
At the very top of his game, I say!— Citizen Caller (@CitizenCallerUS) June 10, 2024
