The ongoing debate surrounding Joe Biden’s fitness status has intensified, with Democratic Party heavyweights and some members of parliament openly questioning his ability to continue as president. While the White House continues to deny any concerns about Biden’s health, there is growing doubt among Democrats about his candidacy.
Lloyd Doggett, a Texas Democrat, was the first to publicly call on Biden to resign after the disastrous televised debate against Donald Trump. He questioned whether this was a temporary episode or a lasting state of affairs. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and a Democratic heavyweight, has also expressed her concerns about Biden’s health.
Despite the pushback from the White House, questions about Biden’s fitness have continued to circulate. A CNN poll released Tuesday found that 75 percent of voters believe the party would have a better chance in November with a candidate other than Joe Biden. This comes as Trump is currently leading in voting intentions nationwide.
In addition to these concerns, people close to the president have noted changes in his behavior, sparking further speculation about his mental state. The New York Times reported on these changes on Tuesday, adding fuel to the growing doubts about Biden’s fitness and candidacy.
In an attempt to address these concerns head-on, the White House has promised a personal press conference at the NATO summit and conversations with Democratic officials and lawmakers. However, it remains unclear whether these efforts will be enough to quell the growing doubts within the party.
