In a tense interview with CNN's Kasie Hunt, Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer deflected questions about his awareness of President Biden's mental state before his reelection withdrawal. The discussion was sparked by a new book detailing aides' efforts to mask Biden's cognitive issues that became evident during a troubled debate performance against Donald Trump. Despite Hunt's probing, Schumer reiterated a focus on future legislative challenges rather than acknowledging Biden's perceived unfitness for a second term.
In the infamous debate back in June, Biden short-circuited repeatedly and famously announced, 'We finally beat Medicare,' highlighting his cognitive struggles.
HUNT: 'You sat next to Biden in the Oval Office ... Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term?' SCHUMER: 'We're looking forward.'
Biden's cognitive struggles were apparent on the campaign trail last year, culminating in a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump in June.
