During a recent fundraiser in Los Angeles, President Joe Biden experienced another unsettling incident, raising further questions about his cognitive health. Former President Barack Obama was on hand to assist Biden when he appeared to freeze on stage, unable to move. This event has added to a series of moments where Biden’s mental acuity has been under scrutiny.
At the fundraiser, hosted by actors George Clooney and Julia Roberts, the evening featured a conversation between Obama and Biden, moderated by Jimmy Kimmel. The event raised $28 million for Biden’s campaign, a notable sum but still less than the $54 million former President Donald Trump raised following a controversial court verdict in New York City.
Unlike Trump, who received substantial support from small donors, Biden’s fundraiser leaned heavily on wealthy celebrities and deep-pocketed supporters.
This incident is not isolated. Just last week, Biden appeared disoriented after stepping off Air Force One and needed help finding his way. At a recent gun safety conference, his speech was often slurred and difficult to follow. These episodes have fueled speculation about his capacity to face Trump in a debate, with many questioning if Biden is fit for such a challenge.
Moreover, Biden’s behavior at the Juneteenth celebration at the White House also raised eyebrows. During a performance by gospel singer Kirk Franklin, Biden stood motionless for nearly thirty seconds, seemingly unaware of his surroundings. It wasn’t until Philonise Floyd, brother of George Floyd, gently placed an arm around Biden that he seemed to snap out of his trance-like state.
In another instance, during the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, Biden was seen repeatedly bending over in front of his wife, Jill. Some speculated this might have been due to spatial disorientation, while others suggested it was a moment of confusion. These ongoing incidents have only added to the narrative questioning Biden’s health and ability to lead effectively.
