New Book Alleges President Biden’s Health Deterioration, Sparking Leadership Debate

Washington, D.C.: A new exposé, Original Sin, co-authored by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, claims President Joe Biden’s health noticeably declined to the point aides considered wheelchair accommodations for re-election events. The book cites repeated confusion, mobility struggles, and an apparent failure to recognize known figures at fundraisers. The White House dismisses the revelations as “ageist speculation.” Nonetheless, the revelations reignite debate over top Democratic leadership transitions, with some party members urging fresh blood. Critics highlight that advanced age alone doesn’t disqualify Biden’s capacity to serve, but the claims about cognitive lapses are fueling renewed calls for clearer health transparency.
