For the last three and a half years, Republicans have raised concerns over President Joe Biden’s fitness for office. His speeches, policies, physical struggles, and demeanor have been cited as indicators. There is nothing wrong with aging – it’s part of life. However, when it involves the president of the United States, it becomes a different scenario.

For years, congressional Democrats, the liberal elite, and the media dismissed Republicans’ concerns over Biden’s health as conspiracy theories. Over the past month, this perspective shifted as Biden’s health became front-page news. Congressional Democrats and others admitted publicly that Biden’s cognitive issues are a serious concern. “The media, congressional Democrats, wealthy elites, and those inside the Biden administration – including Vice President Kamala Harris – have known all along that Biden is unfit for office,” sources claim. They further allege complicity in hiding this information from the American people.

In late June, White House aides told a D.C. publication that between 10am to 4pm, Biden is engaged with his job but outside of those hours he is more likely to have verbal slip-ups and become tired. “The job of running the country and protecting the security of American families is not a 10-4 responsibility,” critics argue.

Opponents claim that adversaries have taken advantage of Biden’s decline. They argue that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and attacks by Iran on Israel might not have occurred under a different leader. Critics state: “It’s unacceptable that Washington Democrats refuse to admit what they – and the rest of the world – have known for years: Biden is absolutely unfit to be commander in chief.”

In his Oval Office address on July 24, Biden announced his retirement at the end of his first term, stating it was time to “pass the torch to a new generation.” Skeptics call this statement misleading: “Everyone knows he was forced into making this decision because of pressure by Washington Democrats and the wealthy elite.”

Accusations are made against Kamala Harris, Washington Democrats, media figures, and others for allegedly covering up Biden’s cognitive decline from public knowledge. Amid domestic challenges such as economic downturns and border crises—issues Vice President Harris was tasked with addressing—critics argue America needs stronger leadership than what they believe is currently provided by Biden.

Calls for immediate resignation were made during his Oval Office address; some demanded he step down immediately due to perceived inability to perform presidential duties effectively. Concerns were raised about replacing him with Vice President Harris but emphasized urgency given current stakes for national leadership.
