Democrats in shock over Biden's health concerns
Joe Biden's Health Concerns Under Scrutiny
Over the course of his presidency, doubts have been raised about the fitness of President Joe Biden to fulfill his duties. A new book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," claims that Biden's age and declining mental and physical capacities were hidden from the public.
In their book, U.S. journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson discuss incidents during the last two years of Biden's presidency when he struggled to remember the names of his closest aides, spoke incoherently, and lost his train of thought. The authors allege that Biden was shielded from public view to conceal the extent of his decline.
The book paints a picture of growing shock and concern among Democratic lawmakers, White House staff, members of Biden's cabinet, and Democratic donors at his diminishing abilities. Many believed he was not fit to handle a national emergency or run for re-election.
The book recounts the 2024 presidential debate where Biden appeared disoriented, causing some to question his health. Biden's decision to run for re-election despite these concerns was seen as a mistake by many in his inner circle.
Biden's age and health have been a subject of debate in recent days. Last week, the president announced that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. The statement said that he and his family were reviewing treatment options with his doctors.
The book is based on over 200 interviews with Democratic insiders conducted after the 2024 election. It was published on Tuesday.
