Rep. Jim Clyburn acknowledged that perceptions of President Biden's cognitive abilities could harm the Democrats' image. In discussing public opinion, he recognized mixed feelings among South Carolinians, with some still believing in Biden's capabilities but also expressing concern over past episodes and whether they masked a more serious issue. Recent leaked audio capturing Biden's stammering and memory lapses has further intensified scrutiny, highlighting ongoing debates about how his cognitive state is managed and communicated by his allies.
"I have talked to people, talked to students. And people still feel that Joe Biden had the capacity to do the work that needed to be done."
"But these people are also concerned when they look back at those tapes, they remember the debate... that was, in fact, just an incident or whether that was a condition that was being kept from people."
