First Lady Defends President Amid Age-Related Fitness Concerns and Low Approval Ratings
February 11, 2024First Lady Jill Biden and Democratic allies defend President Joe Biden's mental sharpness following a special investigator's report questioning his fitness for office due to age-related concerns.
The report refers to President Biden as a 'well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,' hinting at 'diminished faculties in advancing age' without recommending charges.
High-profile Democrats, including Mitch Landrieu, Alejandro Mayorkas, Ro Khanna, and Jen Psaki, have publicly supported Biden, disputing the notion of invoking the 25th Amendment.
Republicans, particularly supporters of former President Trump, use the report to underscore Biden's age and to fuel opposition, despite Trump's own age and public gaffes.
Amidst a low approval rating of 41%, debate intensifies over President Biden's reelection plans and the potential need for new Democratic leadership.
