Biden ‘too diminished’ mentally to talk debt ceiling: Sen. Ted Cruz

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Wednesday that President Biden has doomed negotiations with House Republicans over the debt ceiling because of his impaired mental state.

Cruz told reporters the 80-year-old president’s approach to the crisis is a far cry from his performance during similar debt limit talks involving the Obama White House in 2011 — and suggested cognitive decline was to blame.

“Vice President Biden sat down with House Republicans and reached a meaningful compromise,” the 52-year-old senator said.

“President Joe Biden needs to do the same thing.”

“Sadly, the reason he hasn’t so far, I believe, is because his mental faculties are too diminished right now to do what he did in 2011, to sit down and actually work together on a solution to the problem,” Cruz went on.

“What we’re left with is a bunch of young staffers in the White House — radical children — who are perfectly willing to risk a default on the debt because they have no appreciation of the chaos, and misery and damage a default would do.
