Concerns Over physical Condition

the book alleges that Biden’s physical condition deteriorated noticeably,with authors claiming his⁤ “hesitant walk” sparked internal discussions about the ⁢potential need for a wheelchair. They report ⁢that advisors considered this option but decided against ⁤it⁢ until after the election.

The book further claims ⁣that Biden’s doctor,Kevin⁣ O’Connor,privately suggested that another serious fall could necessitate wheelchair use and a potentially tough recovery.

According to the authors, advisors reportedly⁢ took steps to accommodate Biden’s declining physical state, ⁢including shortening walking distances, ⁤installing handrails on stairs, and encouraging the president to ⁢wear athletic shoes more frequently.

At the time, Biden’s advisors attributed his gait ⁤to a fractured foot sustained in November 2020 ‍and his reluctance⁤ to⁣ consistently wear a⁢ surgical boot.

Allegations of Forgetfulness

An anonymous advisor to Biden, in a statement to Axios, countered these ⁣claims, stating, ⁣”Yes, there were physical changes as he⁤ aged, but the evidence of‍ aging is ‍not evidence of mental disability.”

A spokesperson for the former ⁤president added, “We are⁣ still waiting‍ for someone, anyone, to point out ⁤at ⁤what time Joe Biden had to make⁢ a presidential decision or pronounce‍ a presidential ⁤speech in which he could not ⁢fulfill his⁣ duty due to mental deterioration.” The spokesperson further asserted, “In ⁤fact, the evidence points to the opposite: he was a very‍ effective president.”

The book also alleges an incident where biden purportedly failed to recognize George ⁤Clooney at ⁤a fundraising ‍event ‍in ⁤California. The event, hosted ⁢by Clooney and ‍attended by other celebrities, was intended to support Biden’s campaign.

“Thank ⁢you for‍ being here,” Biden reportedly said to Clooney, ⁢seemingly unaware of the actor’s identity. An advisor⁣ allegedly intervened, saying, “You know⁤ George,” while Biden ⁣struggled to place him.

Clooney later penned ⁢an op-ed in ⁣ The New York Times urging Biden to withdraw from⁣ the race. He was among the first major donors to ⁣publicly rescind his support for biden.

Further, the book claims biden sometimes forgot the names⁤ of longtime advisors, including Mike Donilon, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and White house Communications Director Kate Bedingfield.
