As State of the Union Speech Looms, Brit Hume Declares: Biden 'Is Palpably Senile...the Country Sees It'

In mid-February, an ABC News/Ipsos poll found that nearly nine out of 10 Americans think Joe Biden is too old to serve a second term as president. That's not exactly breaking news. What is newsworthy is veteran political analyst Brit Hume declaring on Tuesday night that Biden is "palpably senile."
The newsworthiness was less about what was said and more about who said it.
Hume has been a respected journalist for decades. After spending 23 years at ABC News, he left the network in 1996 to join Fox News. After retiring as the anchor of "Special Report" in 2008, he became a senior political analyst and a regular panelist on "Fox News Sunday."
Here's the point: Brit Hume has never been given to partisan political rhetoric, whataboutism, or hypocrisy; he calls 'em like he sees 'em — on both sides of the political aisle. And what Hume now sees in Joe Biden is a cognitively declining man incapable of performing the duties of the president of the United States.
