Former First Lady Hillary Clinton Raises Concerns Over President Biden's Age and Mental Fitness
Former First Lady Hillary Clinton has joined the growing chorus of voices expressing concerns about President Joe Biden's age and mental acuity.
In a recent interview with MSNBC, Clinton acknowledged that Biden's age is a "legitimate" campaign issue, pointing out that it was also a concern for former President Donald Trump, who is only three years younger.
Clinton, the former Democratic presidential nominee, and secretary of state suggested that while Biden may struggle to connect with younger voters, he should emphasize his experience and leadership qualities. She highlighted the importance of showcasing Biden's wisdom and character gained from a lifetime of both political and personal experiences.

However, a recent NBC News poll revealed that 76% of respondents expressed concerns about Biden's mental fitness for a second term. These concerns are further fueled by a damning special counsel's report that accused Biden of being senile.
The report, released by special counsel Robert Hur, stated that Biden "did not remember" significant details during interviews, including the timing of his son Beau's death.
Biden dismissed the claims of mental decline during a hastily arranged press conference, stating that his memory is intact and that he knows what he's doing. However, he did make a factual mistake during the press conference, mistakenly referring to the Egyptian President as the President of Mexico.
