The problem with her answer is, of course, that the question of his mental state is the very reason the question is a question. The People want to know, and it has been a question for a very long time. Not only for Republicans who have already largely decided the answer. But Democrats have been asking it as well.
So, what are we to believe is the real answer here, because any thinking person has to question the choice that was made here by the doctor and why the Biden administration decided to not push the issue? You would think that with a president so heavily questioned about his memory and fitness mentally to lead the country—someone would have decided to insist on the test to be done simply to hopefully put the question to rest.
All the decision does, to not do the test, is to raise more questions.
Did the doctor truly determine no test was needed? Or did the Biden administration persuade the doctor to conclude that because they all knew he wouldn't be able to pass it?
In fact, the question was a rather hot one right after the Hur report was released which made comments about Biden's memory, with Karine Jean-Pierre fiercely claiming, "You do not see the president as we do, and he is very sharp in all of our encounters." Biden angrily lashed out at reporters that his memory is fine while only mere moments later introducing the President of Egypt as the President of Mexico.
Even Biden himself should have insisted the test be done to prove to the prying public that they are wrong about their questions.
Perhaps they feel it was a smarter move to avoid the test and potentially avoid their Pocahontas moment such as was the fate for Senator Elizabeth Warren and her Cherokee claims. At the same time, I think what they were up against was a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Because people aren't dumb. If Biden couldn't pass the test, which many people believe he can't, the answer in the minds of voters remains the same despite the doctor claiming that no test was necessary.
President Joe Biden is in mental decline, and that is precisely why no test was done.
Because we are smack dab in the middle of an election here, and all the Democrats want to do is win it. I have a strong suspicion that they already have plans in place to remove Joe Biden from office as soon as he does win it, if he should happen to win.
The 25th amendment could be applied, and Kamala Harris has already stated to the American people, "I am ready to lead," which seems to suggest she may become the president in the event of a Biden/Harris victory.
Does this hurt Joe Biden's chances of winning? I think it does. A large portion of Democrats are not convinced. And not all Democrats hate the country. Most Democrats, according to all the polls, can't stand Kamala Harris and find her to be a disaster in waiting if she ever becomes president.
Either way, the fact remains that not including a cognitive test in his annual physical was a major misstep. Simply telling the American people he passes a cognitive test every single day is not enough. Because in the eyes of the American people, he is not passing that test. If we can't see it, your answer and the doctor's opinion mean nothing.
