The Challenges of an Aging President

They can't hide it anymore, that's the challenge <--- Spoiler alert

Mr. Biden’s performance at his news conference on Thursday night was intended to assure the public that his memory is fine and argue that Mr. Hur was out of line; instead, the president raised more questions about his cognitive sharpness and temperament, as he delivered emotional and snappish retorts in a moment when people were looking for steady, even and capable responses to fair questions about his fitness.

In other words, despite the ridiculous attempts by the White House and the paid shills that infest boards like this one...it's not working. The public saw a dementia-wracked old dude.

Mr. Biden’s allies are already going to the usual Washington playbook of dismissing the special counsel’s report as partisan. Regardless of Mr. Hur’s motivation, the details that he presented spoke to worries voters already had. The president has to reassure and build confidence with the public by doing things that he has so far been unwilling to do convincingly. He needs to be out campaigning with voters far more in unrehearsed interactions. He could undertake more town hall meetings in communities and on national television. He should hold regular news conferences to demonstrate his command of and direction for leading the country.

Here's another thing: Biden can't do any of this. He couldn't in 2020 when they hid him in the basement and he's even less capable now.
