President Biden’s age and mental health have come under scrutiny again, with some White House officials conceding that his energy has diminished. While some of his advisers maintain that he is still mentally sharp, others acknowledge that his age has significantly limited his schedule. Biden, who is 80 years old, will need to hit the trail and become more visible ahead of the 2024 re-election since there will be no basement candidacy. However, national campaigning is grueling, and many doubt that he will be able to keep up with the pace.
The age and mental competency issue will keep rearing its head since Biden’s age and diminishing energy are at the forefront. Axios’s behind-the-scenes look at the 2024 Biden operation reveals that his aides are concerned about his mental health. Meanwhile, The New York Times has been blunt that Biden has lost it, and his aides do their best to keep him afloat, ensuring that his incoherent statements don’t trigger any international or domestic fiascos.
It’s no surprise that Biden has a penchant for fumbling, bumbling, and spewing sentence fragments, and his schedule is further limited due to his lack of energy. While some White House officials say they are amazed at Biden’s stamina, they often add the caveat “for his age.” With his age and mental competency issues, Democrats are increasingly going after Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), whose health issues are similar to Biden’s, and there have been calls for her resignation.

In conclusion, Biden’s age and diminishing energy are major concerns, with his aides working hard to keep him afloat. With national campaigning being so grueling, it remains to be seen if Biden will be able to keep up with the pace. Meanwhile, the age and mental competency issue will keep rearing its head, and Democrats are increasingly turning to other candidates since the candidate bench isn’t deep. Biden’s time as president looks set to be an extremely challenging one due to these issues, and it remains to be seen how voters will respond in the 2024 election.
