Concerns about Joe Biden’s health have resurfaced, spotlighting past denials by his administration. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly dismissed claims of cognitive decline as false. A new book alleges aides hid Biden’s condition, citing memory lapses and confusion.
After a poor 2024 debate and his campaign withdrawal, Jean-Pierre denied a cover-up. Critics, including columnist Sally Quinn, accused Jill Biden of “elder abuse” for pushing his reelection. Some officials even suggested potential legal consequences.
