So Biden’s campaign team called her, and a “rival” who’s was also planning for 2028 after Biden left
Kind of burying the lede that Biden’s campaign team is reaching out to alternatives to gauge interest now that the family is blaming the campaign. I doubt the rival was on the call, so it sounds like the campaign is discussing alternatives with multiple options.
There’s no reason to keep propping up Biden. He’s a liability and not even his campaign team, family, and closest political allies are united anymore.
It is too risky to keep plowing ahead with him especially if he thinks he’s still doing great and has a shot.
He had a childhood speech impediment. Overcoming those requires a concentrated effort, which we become less able to handle as we age.
Here’s Biden in 2008

Here he is in 1987

In a way what’s happening now is a speech impediment, but it’s re-emerging as he loses ability in the same parts of the brain that handle critical thinking due to the normal effects of aging.
I’m just tired of so many people writing this stuff off. Like, it took 2 minutes to find those videos and show he hasn’t always been like this. He just couldn’t win until the only other option was trump. Even tho he was a much better candidate back then.
Quick edit:
Ironically something like the Havana weapon would actually cause this shit, it’s incredibly unlikely someone used it on Biden for the debate…
But it’s fucking 2024 y’all, who knows what’s real anymore I guess.
