WASHINGTON — After he gave his State of the Union speech in March, President Joe Biden seemed to have quieted persistent fears that, at 81, he was no longer up to the job.
He spoke forcefully and jousted with Republican lawmakers who had jeered his message. But a Democratic lawmaker who shook hands with Biden in the House chamber that night was troubled by his appearance.
Biden, the congressman said in a recent interview, looked “frail and weak.”
Far from a one-off, the debate revealed the same worrying traits — memory lapses, incoherence, a vacant look — these officials say they've noticed in Biden’s company throughout his term.
“The country saw [at the debate] what those of us who have had personal interactions with him have all known for the last 2½ years,” a senator said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss Biden’s fitness.
A large, well-funded team of aides surrounds Biden and has worked to shield him from the embarrassments that might befall a president of advanced age. He often boards Air Force One through a shorter staircase leading to the belly of the plane to minimize the risk of a fall. No president other since Ronald Reagan has given fewer interviews, a forum in which he must nimbly field questions without the benefit of a script.
The debate stripped away the protective cloak. Now, Biden faces a crisis in which he needs to demonstrate — quickly — that he can function at the level the presidency demands. In a phone call this week with a close ally, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., Biden affirmed that "he's got to do some things to win back the confidence of the American people," Coons said in an interview.

It was a conditional episode due to a cold, all brought on by jetlag anomaly.
It’s pretty damned funny how ALL OF A SUDDEN these so called big time Dems have known Biden has been brain dead for 2.5+ years and yet said NOTHING all this time.
Maybe they realize Joey showed the entire world he is brain dead and they know their fraud has been exposed.
FJB and ALL Dems!!!!
These democrats are so perceptive, and NBC News and such an honorable and truthful legitimate propaganda free news operation. /s
It almost seems like these kinds of stories are coming out every hour now. I confess I’m spending too much time on-line following and enjoying them. This is rapidly becoming a historical moment, I think.
And all have been silent until given the go-ahead to speak up.
Here is a Twitchy thread where some reporter indicates that long-timed Biden associates were shocked he couldn’t remember their names. Also, that Biden once had to be pulled from a reception early because staff realized he couldn’t remember the names of those he was greeting.
Where were all these people BEFORE the debate? Oh, that’s right, Party before country. Power at any and all cost.
These people, along with the media, the very same people demanding the 25th Amendment be invoked for Donald Trump, knew about Biden long before the debate. These people are traitorous cowards who are not worthy of the sacrifices made on behalf of this once great nation.

None of this would be a problem if Trump had just gone to jail and committed suicide with the monitoring video cameras “malfunctioning”. The leftists may still play that card.
In modern times the media tries to hide FJB is mentally handicapped.
Damn climate change!
KJP is that you?
☺
Some?
Man, the delusion is strong with that party.
No wonder they treat climate change like a religion.
lol...
I may have posted the incorrect Twitchy thread above.
Here is the correct one:
“A Profile of President Biden Said Friends Were Shocked He Couldn’t Remember Their Names”
Ya think?
Well said.
I want names of all those people, then bring them into a congressional investigation of the Dementia Joe cover-up
I said NAME NAMES
