Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) dismissed concerns over Joe Biden’s mental acuity this week, claiming he regularly communicates with the president and insists Biden’s cognitive abilities are intact. Schumer dismissed inquiries about Biden’s mental health as mere right-wing propaganda.

Schumer’s assertions are far from reality. Recent polls indicate a significant portion of the American populace holds reservations about Biden’s mental acumen, a sentiment reinforced by the Hur report.

The Hill reports:

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters Tuesday morning that President Biden’s mental acuity is “great,” responding to concerns stirred by a special counsel’s report that said the president has a “poor memory.”

“I talk to President Biden regularly. Usually several times in a week. His mental acuity is great, it’s fine, it’s as good as it’s been over the years,” Schumer said in response to a question.

“I’ve been speaking to him for 30 years since we worked on the Brady Bill, the assault weapons ban when I was a young congressman,” Schumer said.

WATCH:

“He’s fine. All this right-wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined is wrong,” Schumer said.

Democratic senators haven’t discussed Biden’s age or memory as a political problem at any of their caucus lunches, but some Democrats are privately concerned about polls showing that many voters think Biden’s too old for the job.

Schumer’s decision to address the issue underscores its significance. The overwhelming majority of Americans, standing at 86 percent, now harbor doubts about Biden’s suitability for the presidency due to his age.

As time progresses, this sentiment is poised to intensify, as Biden’s cognitive faculties are unlikely to experience improvement with age.
