Joe Biden had a busy weekend on the fundraising trail, bringing in $28 million at an event in Los Angeles, with a big assist from former President Barack Obama. While the event went smoothly, a clip of Obama leading Biden off stage has gone viral and raised questions about Biden’s mental acuity.
Some critics have pointed to Biden’s recent appearances, including the G7 Summit, as evidence of his mental decline. Despite efforts by the Biden campaign to downplay these concerns, the European press has also raised questions about the president’s mental sharpness.

However, not everyone is convinced that the viral clip is clear evidence of Biden’s declining mental health. Fox News’ Brit Hume suggested that while Biden may have appeared aloof, it’s unclear if Obama needed to intervene. Hume also speculated that Biden’s staff may be irritated by the optics of the situation.
Overall, the clip has sparked debate about Biden’s mental fitness, with some seeing it as further evidence of his decline, while others question the significance of the moment.
