Biden Aides Floated Wheelchair Use in Second Term, Book by Tapper and Thompson Says
- A new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson reveals that President Joe Biden's aides privately discussed using a wheelchair during a potential second term.
- The discussions stemmed from Biden's severe physical decline in the latter half of his presidency, notably his halting walk and a serious fall in 2023, according to over 200 interviews mainly with Democratic insiders.
- Biden's team took precautions such as shorter walking paths, handrails, and aides walking with him to conceal his mobility issues during his 2024 reelection campaign, though they insisted he remained fit for office.
- His physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, warned a wheelchair might be necessary after a bad fall, but Biden's medical exam showed a stiff gait from spinal wear that required no special treatment and had not worsened.
- Despite evidence of physical aging, Biden and Jill Biden denied cognitive decline in interviews, and no clear proof emerged that his health hindered his presidential duties, though aides deemed wheelchair use before the election politically unviable.
