RUSH EXCERPT:
SMERCONISH: “The audio comes as questions about Biden‘s physical and mental capabilities have returned to the spotlight. A forthcoming book, original sin President Biden‘s decline, its cover up, and his disastrous choice to run again, by CNN‘s Jake Tapper and Axios Alex Thompson detail signs of Biden‘s decline while in office. No doubt, concern over this book caused somebody to advise the Bidens poorly. I would argue that they should make their first joint appearance since leaving the White House on the view as a preemptive showing of stability and cogency, but it backfired when the former president was asked about reports of his decline. He didn‘t address the question directly trailed off after about 60s leaving the former First Lady to have to jump in.”
