Staff Reports
President Joe Biden’s recent meetings with congressional leaders have raised concerns about his performance in office. During negotiations for a Ukraine funding deal in January, Biden spoke softly, read from notes for basic points, and had long pauses that made it seem like he was not fully engaged. In a separate meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson in February, Biden appeared confused about his administration’s policy changes, causing worries about his memory lapses.
These reports from the Wall Street Journal shed light on Biden’s deteriorating demeanor and command of details during important discussions. Republican leaders have expressed disappointment in Biden’s inconsistent behavior, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy noting a stark difference from Biden’s time as vice president. Attendees in these meetings have struggled to hear Biden, and his reliance on notes and staff for assistance has raised concerns about his ability to effectively lead.

The well-being of the nation depends on having a leader who is fully capable and competent, especially in times of uncertainty and crisis.
