The health and mental sharpness of former President Joe Biden became a heated topic, especially during the 2024 election.
Biden’s deteriorated mental state led to him ending his re-election bid last summer.
However, questions about Biden’s mental and physical fitness and continued to intensify since President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory.
Allegations of efforts by Biden’s staff to hinder journalistic probing into the president’s condition have cast a spotlight on the administration’s communication strategies, as the Daily Caller reports.
There have since been new revelations about what some, including a Fox News correspondent, suggest was a cover-up.
Reports of Biden’s health concerns began gaining prominence in September 2022 when he attempted to publicly greet Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN).
Biden had been working closely with Walorski on an initiative and started calling out for her in the middle of a speech at a public event, as Slay News reported at the time.
“Jackie, are you here?” Biden said, slurring his words.
“Where’s Jackie?” he asked before mumbling.
“She must not be here.”
However, Walorski had passed away in a car accident weeks before.
