Biden's Recent Gaffes Raise Bipartisan Concerns About Mental Sharpness
-
Biden has made numerous verbal gaffes recently, including mixing up countries, misstating facts, and abruptly ending events. This has raised bipartisan concerns about his mental sharpness at age 80.
-
Examples include calling India's leader "the president of China," saying his late son died in Iraq instead of from cancer, and prematurely walking out of events.
-
Biden has a long history of verbal stumbles, but the frequency seems to have increased recently. Critics suggest this shows he may not be fit to serve his full term.
-
Biden acknowledges voters' concerns about his age but says "watch me" and points to his record. He attributes gaffes to a stutter rather than mental decline.

Former President Trump, 77, has dismissed concerns about Biden's age, noting other senior lawmakers like Bernie Sanders remain sharp. Trump says age alone does not equate to decline.
