• He emphasized that Democrats' loyalty to Biden, rooted in his pandemic leadership and legislative successes, delayed necessary strategic shifts.
• New revelations, including excerpts from the book 'Original Sin' and audio from Robert Hur's interview, have intensified scrutiny of Biden's mental fitness and internal party decisions.
