Donald Trump’s running mate and Republican vice presidential candidate, JD Vance, criticised US President Joe Biden‘s cognitive abilities, questioning his capacity to remain in office and run for re-election.
This comes amidst increasing calls from Democrats for Biden to step aside, following his underwhelming debate performance with Trump earlier this month.Despite this, Biden has reaffirmed his commitment to continue his campaign.
Ohio Senator JD Vance challenged Biden’s cognitive fitness, taking it to social media platform X, he wrote: “If Joe Biden doesn’t have the cognitive function to run for re-election, then he certainly doesn’t have the cognitive function to remain as Commander-In-Chief. How can any Dem pushing him to drop out of the presidential race argue in good faith that he should stay on as POTUS?” Vance questioned.
This comment parallels sentiments from several Democrats urging Biden to drop out as the party nominee. Biden’s debate performance, lasting 90 minutes, drew critical responses due to his visible struggle with vocal clarity and statistical citations. Democratic dissatisfaction was highlighted when Senator Martin Heinrich and four House Democrats publicly called for Biden to withdraw his re-election bid.
Biden faced additional challenges last week as a report indicated that nearly 20 Congressional Democrats suggested he step down from the 2024 race. Most of these lawmakers, including national security Democrats Jim Hines and Adam Smith, hail from safe Democratic districts. Long-serving Congressman Lloyd Doggett of Texas was the first to voice this call, representing a secure seat and with nearly 30 years in Congress.
Despite internal party pressure, Biden remained resolute in his candidacy. On Friday, he responded to Trump’s previous speech at the Republican National Convention, criticising it as a bleak vision for America’s future.
“Donald Trump’s dark vision for the future is not who we are as Americans. Together, as a party and as a country, we can and will defeat him at the ballot box,” Biden emphasised.
Biden also expressed his eagerness to resume campaigning and counter Trump’s agenda while advocating for his own vision. “I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America: one where we save our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, and create opportunity for everyone,” Biden stated.
Biden’s campaigning efforts were temporarily paused after testing positive for Covid-19 during a trip to Las Vegas. He has since been isolating at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
