Democrats are quietly pushing President Joe Biden’s aides to have the president engage more frequently with the public following Thursday night’s turbulent press conference in response to a special counsel report, according to Politico.
In his report assessing whether Biden previously mishandled classified documents as a private citizen, special counsel Robert Hur made reference to Biden’s advanced age and repeated mental lapses. Biden subsequently held the Thursday press conference to address Hur’s report and proceeded to mix up the presidents of Mexico and Egypt, bringing even more attention to his mental state and prompting Democratic insiders to warn Biden’s team against retreating in the face of renewed scrutiny of Biden’s cognitive state, Politico reported.
Hur’s report describes Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with poor memory” who could not readily recall the years that he served as vice president or when his son passed away. These details appeared to infuriate Biden, while the White House and elected Democrats have mobilized to support the president by charging that the report’s language was gratuitous and motivated by Hur’s supposed partisanship.
