‘A Crime Against This Republic’: Van Jones, David Axelrod React to Reporting Biden Aides Hid Signs of Decline

  • Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson released 'Original Sin' on May 20, 2025, exposing how Biden's aides hid signs of his mental and physical deterioration throughout the last year of his presidency.
  • The cover-up followed apparent declines in President Biden's health, including his October 2023 interview revealing memory lapses and a recent aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis.
  • Van Jones criticized Biden's advisors on CNN, calling their actions a 'crime against this republic' that enabled Trump's return and predicting long-term political fallout for Democrats.
  • Polling indicated about 75% of voters doubted Biden's fitness for a second term by September 2023, while insiders believed key Democrats questioned Kamala Harris's readiness to succeed him.
  • This scandal has intensified debates within the Democratic Party about transparency, leadership, and ideological direction, potentially affecting their 2026 midterm prospects and future strategies.
