Leaked Biden Audio Fuels Renewed Scrutiny Over Cognitive Fitness

Axios released portions of 2023 interviews between President Joe Biden and special counsel Robert Hur about classified documents, sparking renewed debate on Biden's mental fitness.
This release followed a new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson alleging White House aides concealed Biden’s cognitive and physical decline during his presidency.
Democratic figures like Senator Chris Murphy and Pete Buttigieg acknowledged Biden’s cognitive decline and questioned whether running for a second term was wise, while others defended his fitness.
Polls show mixed opinions: in January 2022, 48% of Democrats supported Biden’s reelection, but by August 2023, 75% of Americans felt he was too old for another term, with nearly two-thirds of Democrats urging withdrawal after poor debate performances.
Biden’s age, reported memory lapses, and the debate over his capabilities have intensified political divisions and influenced Democratic prospects and Republican strategies heading into the 2026 midterms and 2028 nomination battle.

Analysis: Delusion vs. conspiracy

Ben’s viewThe book has revived the conversation about how Democrats put a declining Joe Biden on the ballot — and how the media blew the story. There were a lot of bad moments in public, including one I wrote about in 2023 at the White House holiday party . But I also talked to sources I trusted and who spent time with Biden, and they would candidly assure me that he was, mostly, fine. So what happened here? There was, as the book shows, an exte…
