Biden Defends Exit Amid Mental Health Concerns Reports

News summary

Former President Joe Biden has defended the timing of his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, asserting that his decision did not affect the election result or Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign. In interviews with major outlets, Biden emphasized that Harris was prepared and well-funded, though critics noted his reluctance to mention her by name. Many Democrats argue that Biden's late exit left Harris insufficient time to campaign, contributing to Donald Trump's victory. Biden and his wife, Jill, have publicly refuted allegations of his mental decline, describing such reports as unfounded and defending his work ethic. Meanwhile, new books and reports claim Democratic leaders tried to hide worries about Biden’s cognitive health, intensifying debate over responsibility for the party's loss. Despite the controversy, Biden maintains that stepping down was ultimately the correct decision.
