July 20 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden's national security advisers say he's up to the job while former officials cast doubt on his ability to protect his legacy from Donald Trump.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Joint Chiefs Chair C.Q. Brown at this week's Aspen Security Forum in Colorado insisted Biden is fully capable of steering the United States through a global landscape marked by fears of Russian and Chinese aggression.
"I am damn glad we have that guy sitting at the head of the table in the Situation Room," Sullivan said Friday in a press conference.
It's rare for national security officials to voice their opinions about domestic partisan politics, but growing Democratic concerns about Biden's fitness for office topped with the recent assassination attempt on Trump has made the topic virtually inevitable in national security discussions.
Sullivan, when pressed about Biden's acuity, pointed to his alert and engaged response to Iran's April 13 missile attack on Israel, which the United States helped fend off.
At that time, "you get to see in living color, in real time, the capacity of a commander-in-chief," Sullivan said.
Brown echoed Sullivan's testimony, saying "all the times I've been engaged with the president, he's been engaged."
But officials who previously sat in their roles were not optimistic about Biden's aptitude for a second term.

the longer this goes on the more it looks like weekend at Bernie’s is coming to an administration near you.
And Humper’s laptop is Russian disinformation because we’re stupid
sure he is..of course he is. STAY JOE STAY, DONT LET THEM PUSH YOU OUT!!
National security adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Joint Chiefs Chair C.Q. Brown may be worried that their lavish pay checks are about to be terminated if they didn’t lie about basement Joe.
Sure, stock up on depends and dementia meds. Get him a walker and oxygen mask and he is ready to go!
Nobody believes he will be sharp for another four months; certainly not for another 54 months.
Come on, man.
“Biden’s national security team says he’s up for 4 more years”
Just like he has been up for the last four years ... Bwhahahahahaha
Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are saying the same thing.
Sullivan is lying through his teeth. And he’s supposedly our NSA. Not a warm fuzzy feeling in today’s crazy world.
The same gang of liars that pushed the "Russia collusion" hoax and the Hunter Biden Laptop was Russian disinformation scam. I'm sure He's glad China Joe was at the head of the table, asleep, so they could so what they wanted. Forgive me if I don't believe a word these guys say.
...because HE didn’t run the first 4
I actually feel sorry for the guy. Sure he corrupted the Judicial system, the fbi, The SS, the border, and corrupted our culture in every way possible but he’s not that bad of a guy!
Pffft.....I doubt he could make 4 more weeks much less 4 months......I’m certainly not wishing for this outcome but there’s a more than fair chance he won’t even be alive for 4 more years.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Or even four days.
It’s not just Hunter snorting coke.
As long as he lasts through the nominating convention.
I want to see every Democrat who tried to push Joe out to sea on an ice floe take to the stage and proclaim him as the only man ready to take on Donald Trump and lead this country for another four years.
What does the Black Man think? You know...the thing...Defense Secretary.
If they want to run the country let them get elected like everyone else.
