Americans everywhere are eager to see if Democrats will replace President Biden. Now we may have an answer.
Because these Biden allies admitted one thing about Joe that will leave your jaw on the floor.
Last month, President Biden had a public moment where he appeared unable to say the name of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, leaving his allies alarmed and “shaken up.”
The incident occurred on June 18 during an event marking the anniversary of the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which controversially protected some illegal immigrants from deportation.
While speaking, Biden introduced Mayorkas, who has been the primary official dealing with the ongoing crisis at the southern border since 2021.
Biden struggled, saying, “Thanks to all the members of the Congress and Homeland Security Secretary,” before pausing. “I…I’m not sure I’m going to introduce you all the way.”
He then added, “But all kidding aside, Secretary Mayorkas.”
According to The New York Times, two people with a clear view of Biden, who has battled a stutter throughout his life, said his soft-spoken mumbling and fumbling over words left some concerned.
The Times reported that Biden’s tone and struggle to name Mayorkas led to allies trading “alarmed looks” and later describing themselves as “shaken up.”
Another person hoped it was a “one-off” bad moment for Biden.
This report comes amid growing concerns about Biden’s mental acuity, which have been bubbling for years and boiled over at last week’s presidential debate, where Biden was widely seen to have performed poorly.
This has sparked calls from some Democrats and liberal media outlets for the president to drop out of the 2024 election.
The Times’ Editorial Board even penned an op-ed last week titled “To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race.”
However, the White House and the Biden campaign have repeatedly dismissed these questions about his health.
“Does President Biden, at 81 years old, have Alzheimer’s, any form of dementia or degenerative illness that causes these sorts of lapses? And it’s a yes or no question,” a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday afternoon.
“Are you ready for it? It’s a no. And I hope you’re asking the other guy the same exact question,” Jean-Pierre responded, referring to former President Trump.
Biden addressed his poor debate performance last week at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
“Folks, I know I’m not a young man. But I know how to do this job. I know right from wrong. I know how to tell the truth,” Biden said.
“And I know, like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up.”
