Biden needs to do some soul searching, more and more democratic politicians are voicing legitimate concerns about Biden's fitness for office?!!
With age comes wisdom and also mental and physical decline too?!!
"I think it's a legitimate question to say, 'Is this an episode or is this a condition?'" Pelosi said in an MSNBC interview, noting that the question should be asked of both Biden and his November opponent, former President Donald Trump.
In a separate MSNBC interview shortly after, Clyburn echoed that it is reasonable to wonder whether Biden's debate performance is a signal of a larger medical issue: "I'll have to wait on the experts in medicine to give their opinion, because I'm not a doctor, so I have no idea the extent to which all of this may have occurred."
Clyburn added he has a phone call with Biden scheduled for later Tuesday.
Pelosi and Clyburn's comments come as Democrats monitor the scale of damage from Biden's debate flop. Several polls so far have found that the Biden-Trump rematch remains a near dead-heat.
A new CNN poll published Tuesday found Trump with a 6-point lead ahead of Biden in a head-to-head matchup, unchanged from the survey's April results. The margin of error for that question was +/- 3.7 percentage points.
The poll surveyed 1,045 registered voters from June 28 to 30, only days after the debate, which means it represents respondents' knee-jerk reactions.
Both Democrats reiterated their support for Biden for as long as he stays in the presidential race.
"I want this ticket to continue to be Biden-Harris, and then we'll see what happens after the next election," Clyburn said.
Clyburn and Pelosi are two of Biden's closest allies. Clyburn in particular was pivotal to Biden's 2020 victory after his endorsement delivered a key boost and helped the president secure support among Black voters.
But their Tuesday comments marked some of the first from high-profile Democrats to publicly validate recent anxieties about the president's ability to wage a winning campaign against Trump.
