they are reporting that the white house aides are closely looking out for biden, with some staffers pointing out his verbal and physical stumbles that have become an uncomfortable issue. the times writing this: he often shuffles when he walks, and aids where he will trip on a wire. he he stumbles over words at events and they hold their breath to see if he makes it to the end without a gaffe. i think america holds a breath, too. his speeches can be flat and listless and he sometimes loses his train of thought, has trouble submitting names or appears momentarily confused. more than once he has promoted vice president kamala harris, calling her president harris. god help us. adding insult to injury, more than 60% of democrats do not want biden as a nominee in 2024. what is so troubling to me, brian, if you be the start of this piece, the questions about his age and acuity are actually affecting his official plans as president. he starts by saying, when he goes to th ....
