Senate Republicans hold hearing on Biden’s mental fitness as Democrats boycott

  • On June 18, 2025, Senate Republicans led by Sen. John Cornyn conducted a hearing in Washington, D.C., examining claims that efforts were made to conceal former President Joe Biden’s cognitive health issues during his time in office.
  • The hearing followed renewed scrutiny after Biden's late-stage prostate cancer diagnosis reignited debate about his cognitive fitness and reports of frequent autopen use during his presidency.
  • The hearing, labeled by Republicans as an inquiry into alleged efforts to conceal President Biden's cognitive health issues and their impact on the nation and its foundational laws, featured testimony from former Trump administration officials and a conservative legal expert, while Democrats chose to boycott the event.
  • Cornyn stated concerns that Biden’s associates made misrepresentations about his health and questioned why the 25th Amendment was never invoked, while Biden called the investigations a “distraction” stating, “I made the decisions during my presidency.”
  • The hearing set a precedent for further GOP-led investigations and a whistle-blower hotline was opened to encourage information on Biden’s mental acuity, while Democrats labeled the process political and unproductive.
