Rep. James Clyburn defended former President Joe Biden's suitability for another term during an interview on CNN, adamantly asserting that he has observed no cognitive decline. Clyburn likened Biden's aging process to that of his father's, emphasizing that a decrease in physical ability does not correlate with diminished mental capacity. In contrast, Jake Tapper challenged this view, underscoring discrepancies in Biden's cognitive sharpness compared to Clyburn's own capabilities, but Clyburn maintained his belief that Biden is capable of serving as president until age 86, dismissing any worries raised during recent debates.
I talked to him on the telephone very often, Clyburn said. And I never saw anything that I thought was outside of the ordinary.
Yes, I thought that back then, Clyburn said. I still think that. The debate didn't make you concerned about whether or not he could do the job?
I watch my dad reach the the age of 80. I saw him slow down, he couldn't do the same things he did at 50 or 60.
Absolutely it did, said Clyburn, 84. But he added that he did not see signs of a prolonged condition affecting Biden's fitness.
