Some of those closest to President Joe Biden say he has seen “marked incidents of cognitive decline and physical infirmity” over the past six months, according to veteran political journalist Carl Bernstein.
The comments came after the president struggled during a debate against Donald Trump on June 27, appearing to lose his chain of thought at several points, raising fresh concerns about the 81-year-old’s health and mental aptitude.
During an appearance on CNN on Monday, Bernstein said: “These are people very close to President Biden, who love him, have supported him and among them are some people who have raised a lot of money for him and they are adamant that what we saw the other night is not a one off.
“That there have been fifteen, twenty, occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed.”
He continued: “These people who have supported him, loved him, campaigned for him, see him often, say that in the last six months particularly there have been marked incidents of cognitive decline and physical infirmity.”
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
