Biden Touts Harris's Presidential Potential Amid Rumors of Concealed Decline

President Biden has praised Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential future president while acknowledging signs of cognitive decline, which critics allege his inner circle concealed. This comes after the Washington Post editorial board admitted that Biden's team worked to hide his alleged mental deterioration.

President Biden has publicly acknowledged his age and the possibility of cognitive decline, but he has repeatedly dismissed concerns about his mental fitness. However, a recent editorial by the Washington Post editorial board has admitted that Biden's "inner circle worked to conceal his decline."

The Post's editorial, which largely praised Biden's decision to step down, noted that "the 81-year-old had shown signs of slipping for a long time." The editorial board cited a controversial Wall Street Journal report that alleged Biden was exhibiting signs of cognitive impairment behind closed doors.

The White House has denied these allegations and accused Democrats of working to undermine Biden's presidency. However, the Post's editorial suggests that there may be some truth to the rumors of Biden's declining mental health.

The editorial states that "Biden and White House officials have insisted he was still sharp." However, the Post notes that "his inner circle worked to conceal his decline." This raises questions about the extent to which the White House has been transparent about Biden's mental health.

The Post's editorial also suggests that Biden's decision to step down may have been motivated by concerns about his mental fitness. The editorial states that "Biden and the country would have been better off if Mr. Biden had kept his implied promise from the 2020 campaign to be a ‘transitional’ figure."

The editorial board's admission that Biden's inner circle concealed his decline is a significant development. It raises questions about the president's mental fitness and the transparency of the White House.

The White House has not yet responded to the Post's editorial. However, it is likely that Biden's team will continue to deny allegations of cognitive decline.

The Post's editorial also highlights the role of the mainstream media in covering Biden's mental health. The editorial notes that the WSJ report about Biden's declining mental health was largely dismissed by the media until the disastrous debate put fitness for office at the forefront.

The editorial states that "the media have largely given Biden a pass on his age and mental acuity." This suggests that the media may have been complicit in the White House's efforts to conceal Biden's alleged decline.

The Post's editorial is a significant admission that Biden's inner circle may have concealed his mental decline. This raises serious questions about the president's fitness for office and the transparency of the White House.
