Americans who love this country and care about the integrity of our institutions should be alarmed but not surprised by the revelations that surfaced this week. Former White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told House Oversight investigators that President Biden’s decision-making slowed and that his memory and recall deteriorated over the course of his term — even pushing for a full medical workup after the disastrous June 27, 2024 debate. This is not idle gossip from the fringe; this was a senior official speaking under oath about what he witnessed in the West Wing.
Zients’ description of meetings that once required three sessions ballooning into four shows something more than mere fatigue — it shows a practical breakdown in governance. He reported instances of forgetfulness with names and dates and said he encouraged the president’s physician to conduct a comprehensive cognitive exam, a reasonable step that was apparently resisted. Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who are transparent about their fitness for office; when insiders quietly press for testing and transparency, voters must take notice.
Author Chris Whipple’s new book Uncharted corroborates what many patriotic conservatives have long feared: senior aides privately worried about Biden’s stamina and clarity long before the public could see it. Whipple quotes longtime aides and advisers describing the president as exhausted, disengaged, and increasingly scripted, with Ron Klain and others stunned by how far his faculties had waned. This is the kind of insider accounting that should make every citizen demand accountability from a party that spent years dismissing legitimate concerns about age and fitness.
It was the June 27, 2024 debate that finally exposed the problem for the country to see — a performance so unmoored that it forced a reckoning within the administration and the campaign. What followed was a scramble to manage optics rather than to address the underlying truth: if a commander in chief is struggling, the American people should not be left in the dark. The filing of closed-door interviews and now public testimony shows Republicans on the Oversight Committee are doing what the media and Democrats would not — seeking answers.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer’s probe and the transcribed interviews, including Zients’, finally shine light into rooms where decisions affecting national security and the fate of millions were made. Democrats and their media allies can rail about politics, but the central question is simple: who made momentous decisions when the president’s faculties were slipping, and were those decisions lawful and in the public interest? The American people deserve everything on the table — no more spin, no more scripted appearances, and no more hiding behind press talking points.
This is about more than partisan advantage; it is about the duty to protect our republic and ensure the Oval Office is occupied by someone fit to bear its burdens. Patriots should demand full transparency, sworn testimony in public, and independent medical verification before any future election puts another elderly candidate back on a plane to the presidency without giving voters the facts. If Democrats insist on nominating an octogenarian, they must at least be honest with the country — and if they won’t, voters should remember who chose secrecy over candor.
