This week, a report in The Wall Street Journal made claims about President Joe Biden’s mental health declining, causing concern for those around him. Forty-five insiders reportedly witnessed the president struggling to focus in meetings and frequently closing his eyes for long periods. This behavior has left some feeling uneasy, especially during important discussions like aid to Ukraine. A New York City doctor, Dr. Stuart Fischer, believes it is time to investigate the president’s mental health, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging when someone’s abilities may be diminishing.
The White House has pushed back against these claims, with spokesman Andrew Bates dismissing them as politically motivated. Bates highlighted support for Biden from various groups and individuals, countering the allegations of mental decline. However, former White House physician Ronny Jackson has echoed concerns about Biden’s fitness for office, stating that he is not suited to be commander-in-chief. Jackson, who is now a Republican representative from Texas, suggested that Democrats may be considering nominating someone else due to these revelations.
