A soon-to-be-released book by renowned journalist Bob Woodward reveals that even the most loyal Democrat donors were starting to feel a chill about President Biden’s mental faculties as far back as June 2023. This revelation comes just a year before Biden’s infamous debate performance, where his ability to string together coherent thoughts was called into question, proving that even hard-nosed fundraisers aren’t immune to the reality of the situation. Apparently, Biden’s speech wasn’t so much presidential as it was reminiscent of a scene from an eldercare facility.
At a fundraiser hosted by Microsoft’s tech chief, Kevin Scott, a gathering of Democratic VIPs raised a whopping $2.7 million for Biden’s reelection campaign while simultaneously grappling with an uncomfortable truth: Biden’s mental decline was on full display. Attendees reportedly likened the situation to watching “your 87-year-old senile grandfather” wandering a family gathering, complimenting every woman’s eyes and hoping someone could steer him back to a coherent conversation. This indicates that while Biden’s policies may be a trainwreck, his ability to flatter guests appears to be intact—at least for now.
The unease didn’t end at that gathering. Woodward’s book also recounts another fundraiser at the Four Seasons in New York where Biden struggled to remember the word “veteran.” Who knew that the commander-in-chief would need a lifeline to recall “someone who used to serve”? The apparent absence of sharp thinking at such high-profile events raises eyebrows, especially among those who thought they were signing checks for someone capable of actually running the country.
He should be in Memory Care not the White House.
‘He Never Completed A Sentence’: Donors Worried About Biden’s Mental State A Year Before Debate, Woodward Claims https://t.co/A0bV6u3XU5 via @dailycaller

Biden’s performance at yet another event in Chevy Chase was described as “painful,” an evaluation that likely echoes the feelings of many Americans who have endured his public speaking efforts. Sources indicated that Biden’s rambling thoughts never quite found their way to completion, with bits of stories recycled in a manner that would make any seasoned stand-up comedian shake their head in disbelief. There’s a fine line between endearing grandma-style storytelling and a full-blown episodic adventure, and it seems Biden has crossed it.
The elephant in the room, of course, is that this cascading mental decline has not gone unnoticed by party heavyweights. With whispers of potential replacements, specifically Vice President Kamala Harris, swirling in the air, one can’t help but wonder if any semblance of logic or coherence can be regained. As many turn a critical eye toward the White House or engage in discussions about what to do next, it’s clear that this isn’t just a passing phase for the Democrats. It signals a broader unease about the direction of their party—a party clutching at straws while hoping for a miracle that could pull them back into a position of power.
