US EditionNew book: Biden aides discussed using a wheelchair in second term
- A new book titled "Original Sin: President Biden’s Health Challenges, the Efforts to Conceal Them, and the Controversial Decision to Seek Re-election" reveals that Biden’s aides privately considered wheelchair use during a potential second term.
- The conversation about Biden’s significant physical decline, particularly evident in his unsteady walking, was informed by insights gathered from over 200 interviews, primarily with Democrats, conducted largely after the 2024 election.
- Biden’s team implemented measures like identifying shorter walking routes, installing handrails, and utilizing smaller staircases in an effort to accommodate his declining mobility throughout his campaign for a second term.
- Dr. Kevin O’Connor privately warned Biden’s team that a bad fall in 2023 or 2024 might require a wheelchair for a difficult recovery, although Biden’s condition had not worsened and required no special treatment.
- Despite the reports, Biden and his spokesperson denied mental decline, and Jill Biden said the book’s authors were not present in the White House to witness his daily work and effort.
