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.
