The slip-up wasn’t a first-time thing for ol’ Joe, as he has made the same mistake on at least six previous occasions. One can’t help but wonder if this repeated gaffe might be a sign of something more serious, especially given his advanced age and obvious struggles to keep his thoughts in line.
And speaking of age, the concerns over Biden’s mental acuity have been growing louder, with former President Barack Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, voicing worries about the image Biden is projecting in front of the cameras. After all, with 71% of swing-state voters from a New York Times poll expressing doubts about Biden’s effectiveness due to his age, it seems the writing is on the wall.
But let’s not forget the woman of the hour, Vice President Kamala Harris, who bore witness to this bizarre episode from the front row. The 59-year-old senator turned VP has been waiting in the wings, and some might argue this isn’t the first time Biden has hinted at the possibility of her taking the presidential reins. With all eyes on this administration, the question of whether Harris is up to the task lingers in the minds of many.
As the 2024 elections loom large, the Democrats might find themselves facing tough choices. With former President Donald Trump, the 77-year-old Republican frontrunner, eyeing a return to the White House, the stage is set for an epic showdown. And with Biden’s blunders becoming a regular occurrence, it’s bound to make for an interesting political drama.
