US President Joe Biden’s every move is reportedly meticulously planned by his assistants, with images showing the elderly leader how to navigate venues at events. The detailed instructions include full-page photographs of the route he will walk and simple text instructions such as “walk to the podium.” This level of guidance has raised concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities, particularly after a debate with former President Donald Trump where he appeared to be struggling.
The White House maintains that these detailed instructions are standard practice for presidential events, including for Vice President Kamala Harris. However, there has been increasing pressure on President Biden to suspend his reelection campaign due to concerns about his mental and physical health. Critics argue that his cognitive decline is evident in recent media appearances where he has struggled to answer questions or complete sentences.
Despite some pre-approved questions from the press, multiple reporters have come forward claiming that the White House is covering up evidence of Biden’s decline. Some prominent liberal pundits and Democratic Party donors are calling on him to withdraw from the race, with senior lawmakers reportedly preparing to demand a replacement for a less infirm candidate.
While President Biden has exhibited similar verbal slip-ups and gaffes throughout his political career, this recent scrutiny raises questions about his ability to effectively lead the country and navigate the demands of the presidency.
