The campaign's strategy of controlling public perception of Biden to make it seem like he was more capable than he really is…

The implied assumption here is that Biden is less capable than he has seemed over the last few months.

With a person who has a known speech impediment, it’s very hard to say that problems speaking are a new issue, and not just a reversion to former speech patterns before the impediment was reduced via therapy.

Why is everyone so sure this is evidence of cognitive problems? Isn’t it just as possible that as he is aging, he’s losing a bit of the control he has had over that speech impediment, and that his cognition is not significantly impaired?
