‘Completely mentally sharp’: Panicked Democrats mount feverish defense of Biden

Democrats are publicly and privately panicking over President Biden’s reelection prospects in the wake of a special counsel report that describes Mr. Biden as too old and feeble-minded to be prosecuted for carelessly and illegally stashing classified records in his home and office.

Former presidential advisers for Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have long warned that Mr. Biden’s mental acuity is slipping and could make it harder for him to win reelection in November. Most polls back up the threat.

The special counsel report released Thursday ramped up those concerns by chronicling the president’s mental decline in black and white, such as Mr. Biden’s inability to recall when he served as vice president or when his son Beau died.

Mr. Biden, 81, responded by delivering an angry rant in a prime-time address, displaying other memory lapses on live television, such as confusing the identity of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi with the president of Mexico and trailing off when he tried to recall where he obtained a set of rosary beads commemorating his late son. Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015 at age 46.

Former Clinton adviser Paul Begala summed up the way many Democrats likely felt after Mr. Biden’s disastrous day.

“I slept like a baby,” Mr. Begala joked on CNN. “I woke up every two hours and wet the bed. This is terrible for Democrats. And anybody with a functioning brain knows that.”
