EKO HOT BLOG reports that United States President, Joe Biden has been plagued by public criticism of his state of mind and physical health following a number of embarrassing public gaffes and sometimes odd mannerisms.
Biden, 79, is the oldest President of the United States and is set to celebrate his 80th birthday next month.
Despite much of the mocking of the President, he has said that he is confident that he will run again in 2024 for the next election.
However, the President did acknowledge that the public is correct to consider his age and state of health ahead of voting for him for another term.
Speaking with MSNBC on Sunday, he admitted that he could “drop dead tomorrow” and that voters are in the right to bring it up as an issue of note.
Despite his confidence in his abilities to run again, he said that voters’ doubts are “totally legitimate”.
As images emerged earlier this year of the President using a ‘cheat sheet’ at public events, and reports of Biden appearing frail, confused, and forgetful, his ability to lead the United States for the current term is always up for debate.
Biden told voters: “The best way to make a judgement is to, you know, watch me.
“You know, am I slowing up? Do I not have the same pace?”
He added: “Right now, knock on wood, I do not want to jinx myself, I am in good health … and mentally too.”
Despite this, the issues facing the United States such as soaring inflation and the ever-increasing cost of living crisis, the President’s approval rating has plummeted to approximately 40 percent.
The return of a Biden-Trump election would see voters forced to vote for men reaching or just past 80 years old.
The Democrats have given this much thought as candidates appear reluctant to align themselves with the President while some have openly campaigned for a “generational change” in the party leadership ahead of 2024
