(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In new evidence casting more doubt on Joe Biden’s fitness for office, Jill Biden and his aides have been urging him to take more rests and be cautious about his health going into the election year, even as he insists he feels “much younger” than his age.
This focus on Biden’s age has reportedly caused internal friction at the White House, The New York Post reports, citing several other reports.
According to the pro-left news site Axios, some aides have been skeptical of 81-year-old Biden’s claim of feeling energetic.
“He is his own worst enemy when it comes to his schedule,” one former adviser noted.
It has been reported that scheduling presidential events has been challenging, leading to a concentration of activities between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Both Republican and Democratic voters have expressed concerns in surveys about Biden’s mental fitness, particularly considering he would be 86 at the end of a second term.
“Rest more? He makes barely two public appearances a week, doesn’t take questions or hold press conferences. He has to wear special shoes and take the baby steps on [Air Force One] and is in Delaware 4 days a week, and they are telling him to rest more,” commented Spectator USA contributing editor Stephen Miller.
“He can’t do the job,” he added.
Policy analyst Anthony LaMesa echoed these sentiments.
“I’m shocked Biden’s aides think he is doing too much right now and needs to ‘rest more.’ He’s already skipping summits and trips; rarely interacting with citizens and the press. Biden can’t give 100% to the presidency, let alone his campaign. Time for him to step aside,” he said.
Biden, who has a long tenure in Washington, often addresses public concerns about his age humorously.
At a White House turkey-pardoning ceremony on November 20, he joked by posting a birthday photo with a cake full of candles.
“Turns out on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles!” he wrote.
“I can’t even say the number. It doesn’t — it doesn’t register with me,” Biden said when asked about his age.
Concerns have also been raised about Biden’s physical well-being over his falling incidents.
His team has reportedly employed a physical therapist to enhance his balance.
“His age is clearly something voters are worried about, fairly or not. Yelling, ‘Nuh-uh’ isn’t cutting it,” a former White House official said.
