The most underreported story of 2024 was President Biden’s “obvious mental decline,” according to veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent.
“Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” Crawford said during a discussion on “Face the Nation” Sunday.
Crawford then noted that White House staffers covered it up – limiting his in-person interactions, and calling genuine videos of Biden’s stumbles “cheap fakes.”
“And yet he insisted that he could still run for president. We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats,” Crawford continued. “It could have changed the scope of the entire election.”
