The withdrawal of Joe Biden from the presidential race was apparently the result of months of internal discussions about his health. As has now become known, there have long been serious concern about the physical and cognitive constitution of the then US president within the narrow circle of the Democratic Party.
A book by the CNN moderator Jake Tapper and Axios journalist Alex Thompson, who is soon published, reveals how serious bidder is said to have been health problems in 2023 and 2024. According to this, his condition was so worrying that his advisers were not overstood after the election after the elections after the elections after the elections after the elections the election Election campaign.
Measures to protect the president

The authors’ duo reports that the Biden team tried to protect him against further waterfalls during his re -election campaign. This included measures such as shorter paths to phases, extra handrails on stairs and the absence of steep stairs at the presidential machine Air Force One.
The background of these precautions was, among other things, a public fall in June 2023 when he met a sandbag during a final ceremony of the American air weapon.
Signs of cognitive weaknesses
In addition to the physical challenges, the book authors also indicate possible cognitive impairments. So Biden started to forget Namur and occasionally to stare people he had known for years. These changes in phases of fatigue were particularly clear – accompanied by disorientation and ambiguity in communication.
White House is contradictory with the representation
A spokesperson Bidens rejected the presentation that the health of the president was “serious”. Biden suffers from a “stiffened spine” that is responsible for his stiff gang. However, the problems would not have been intensified. The signs of aging are recognized, but these are “no proof of mental inability”.

For a long time the health status of the president was not publicly tackled within the Democratic Party. There was only a reconsideration after a TV debate against Donald Trump. The voices that demanded a withdrawal of Biden then increased internally – eventually successfully. In the summer of 2024, offers offers apart from a different candidacy. The Democratic candidacy then took over his then vice -president Kamala Harris.
