Biden ‘absolutely’ sharp enough for second term, no ‘coverup’ of mental decline, White House insists
NY Post ^ | 7/24/24 | Steven Nelson

WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted Wednesday that President Biden remains sharp as a tack and “absolutely” could serve another four-year term — stunning journalists at her first briefing since Biden dropped his re-election campaign over concerns about his mental acuity.

“Look, he didn’t step down from campaigning or from running because he didn’t believe he can serve in a second term. That is not why,” Jean-Pierre claimed to the incredulity of the press corps.

The press secretary said the 81-year-old president’s decision to drop out Sunday and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, 59, was in the “best interest” of the country and the Democratic Party and that viewers should “stay tuned” for a fuller explanation from Biden in an 8 p.m. Oval Office address on Wednesday.

“So today, the president believes that he is capable, fully capable of serving in the office that he currently has now and for the next 4.5 years if he wanted to?” an Associated Press journalist asked Jean-Pierre.

“Absolutely,” she said.

Moments later, another reporter pressed, “Why is it in the country’s best interest for him to step aside? Does it have to do with his health?”

“It has nothing to do with his health,” Jean-Pierre claimed.

“The president’s going to speak to this directly to the American people tonight in prime time.”

It's time to jump back into the game Brandon. It's so easy. Just submit another letter vetoing the last one. And since the party is making up rules by the minute for Harris, surely they can make up a rule for this. Stay strong and do another 100 pushups for good measure. There's still time. You're the president, dammit. Act like it. You'll do just fine. FOUR MORE YEARS! Let's go Brandon.

Hmm.. Makes me wonder if he has become the Kamala insurance policy. She’s been looking for a VP, and no one wants to ride the Titanic down with her, so they’ve had to resort to this.

This palace intrigue is better than any book or movie. It’s so fun to see them infighting.

I hope the WH press enjoys getting lied to...

I would not tolerate it from anyone for five seconds.

This is the WH attempt to paper over the issue that if Brandon isn’t competent to run for re-election, he isn’t really competent to be the President currently.

Naturally, no one is going to buy that, because you don’t shut down your campaign with only three months to go, and the party nomination already in the bag, just because you’re a nice guy.

“White house” is as much of a pathological liar, as Briben.

He didn’t really say why he withdrew except “saving democracy.”

Surreal times. Scary 1984 times.

Since the White House refuses to answer, I am sticking with the theory that the Democrat party bosses refused to buy any more ice cream for Der Joe unless he dropped out.

The same, tired old carousel of lies has been switched on again. It goes round and round but with a little bump at the end, like a heavy glass plate in a microwave.

Why release such a statement if Biden isn’t going to stay in the race after all?

Maybe his pull out was a fake, either by a palace coup or else Biden himself or Biden himself wanted to see the games a “withdrawal” would set off?
It’s been entertaining to see the crazed scramble in the D party.
Or???

EVERYONE knows it is about his health, whether they want to admit it or not. Some know that is also about his likely loss to Trump. But this outfit’s contempt for the people is so extreme that they lie about everything, so why stop now?
