President Joe Biden’s apparent cognitive decline is undoubtedly a major issue heading into the 2024 election cycle, and it looks like his fellow Democrats are doing their best to help him out.
Biden was in Los Angeles to announce his next step in canceling a massive $138 billion in student debt, impacting around 3.9 million people, when a reporter called out to ask him a simple question.
“Mr. President. Do you need a strong State of the Union Address to win re-election?”
NEW: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass steps in to answer a question for President Biden as he looks confused with a frozen face.

A confused Biden, who appears to have either not heard or not understood the question, was shielded from the moment by LA’s Mayor Karen Bass, who stepped in to answer for him.
“He is going to win re-election anyway,” she confidently announced, causing the gathered crowd to explode into cheers and applause.
This may have been a supportive and innocuous moment for any other candidate, but with so many questions about Biden’s ability to carry out the duties of the office he holds swirling around, social media users were not impressed.
What’s the point of having a so-called president who can’t answer questions for himself?

Like, if other people are answering questions directly for this man, how can anyone have any confidence in him going forward?!
Makes no sense…

These people think you’re we’re stupid, and the sad thing is they’re not totally incorrect. Should have put a stop to this a long time ago

Yikes that’s humiliating. Joe Biden clearly can’t answer a spontaneous question himself so he needs to let others do it for him.
Biden is completely gone.
This is pure elder abuse at this point and it has to stop.
Biden needs to resign or be legally removed.

Just the fact that anyone wants this corpse for a president tells us it’s over for us as a country ♂️

He can no longer perform simple tasks without assistance.
He needs help getting around, answering questions, and recalling events.
He’ll win re-election only if voters are blindfolded.
Sadly, many already are.
