President Joe Biden's verbal slip-ups, including references to deceased European leaders, have reignited concerns about his age and cognitive abilities. Polling has consistently shown that voters, including half of Democrats, have concerns about Biden's physical or mental health. The White House has rejected claims of memory lapses, emphasizing Biden's wisdom and legislative experience. Both Biden and his lone Democratic primary challenger, Rep. Dean Phillips, have faced scrutiny over their mental acumen, while former President Donald Trump and Nikki Haley have also questioned Biden's and Trump's ability to effectively lead the country at their ages. As the Biden campaign pivots to general election mode, senior campaign officials insist that the best remedy for concerns related to the president’s age is for voters to see him out and about and campaigning as much as possible.
