Joe Biden is the oldest president in American history.
Polls show the public possesses doubts about Biden’s physical and cognitive capacity to do the job.
And now Joe Biden sent Democrats into a panic with this retirement announcement.
If Joe Biden thought announcing his re-election campaign would quiet the doubts about his physical frailty and cognitive decline Biden was sorely mistaken.
Even his allies in the corporate press sounded the alarm about the fact that a president that millions of Americans believe is cognitively impaired plans to ask the voters to keep him in the Oval Office until he is 86 years old.
The New York Times editorial board called on Biden to finally come clean with a full medical report revealing the true status of his cognitive faculties and to prove to voters he is physically and mentally up to the job.
The Times editorial board wrote:
His most recent health summary, released on Feb. 16, said much the same thing, describing him as a “healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.” But his cognitive abilities went unmentioned. That’s something he should discuss publicly and also demonstrate to the voters, who expect the president to reflect the nation’s strength.
If he runs again, Mr. Biden will need to provide explicit reassurance to voters; many of them have seen family members decline rapidly in their 80s. Americans are watching what Mr. Biden says and does, just as he has asked them to do.
During a White House press briefing a reporter asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre if Biden would commit to serving a full four-year term if he wins re-election.
Jean-Pierre offered no such assurances setting off a round of speculation that Biden’s 2024 campaign was really just a sham and that if he won he would retire shortly thereafter.
“Does the president plan to serve all eight years?”
Press Sec: “That’s something for him to decide”

But Biden and the Democrats can’t answer this question truthfully either way.
Biden’s bungling pushed America to the brink of nuclear war with Russia over Ukraine.
Communist China could invade Taiwan at any moment and start World War III.
Joe Biden running for re-election at the age of 82 with the U.S. facing wars with the two other nuclear powers, given his apparent cognitive decline, would terrify the nation.
But what would also terrify the public is if they knew for certain that if they re-elected Joe Biden they were really voting to put Kamala Harris in the White House.
Democrats are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
An NBC poll showed 70 percent of Americans did not want Biden to run for re-election.
This NBC poll also found that 48 percent of Americans considered Biden’s age a major factor in their opposition to Biden running for a second term.
Joe Biden squeaked by in 2020 because the corporate media cooperated with the Democrats and avoided any talk of Joe Biden’s mountain of scandals and his age as well as cognitive abilities.
Biden looks like he will not receive such favorable treatment this go-round.
And with the Real Clear Politics polling average showing Biden trailing both Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, Democrats are facing the realization that the 2024 election is shaping up as a referendum on Joe Biden, and that is a contest Biden is unlikely to win.
