Following President Joe Biden's poor performance in the recent debate against Donald Trump, there is growing concern among Democrats and media analysts regarding his age and cognitive abilities. Prominent figures like Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid have reacted emotionally, sparking criticism from conservative commentators. Biden's use of a teleprompter and other accommodations have also been scrutinized, with some donors and Democratic voters questioning his ability to effectively lead. A recent survey shows Trump leading Biden by six points and suggests a significant portion of Democratic voters favor replacing Biden on the ballot. Media figures, including Brian Stelter, have debated whether the press has adequately covered Biden's health, with some reporters admitting reluctance to address the issue to avoid aligning with conservative narratives.
