Democrats Face Backlash Over Handling of Biden's Decline
Critics accuse Democratic leaders of downplaying President Biden's health issues and misleading the public during his presidency and 2024 campaign.
- Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is under fire for denying that Democrats misled the public about President Biden's mental and physical fitness during his presidency.
- Former Obama adviser Van Jones and other commentators criticized Schumer's claims, calling them 'foolish' and warning of credibility damage for the Democratic Party.
- Reports suggest that many Democratic lawmakers privately harbored concerns about Biden's health but refrained from publicly addressing them to avoid undermining his campaign.
- Biden's performance during the 2024 presidential debate against Donald Trump intensified scrutiny, with some Democrats reportedly urging him to step down from the race afterward.
- Democratic leaders, including Schumer, continue to defend Biden's legislative accomplishments while facing accusations of participating in a broader cover-up of his decline.
