President Joe Biden’s health is under scrutiny again, and it’s not from just any random critic. North Carolina’s only practicing physician in Congress, Rep. Greg Murphy, has raised a red flag about Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. Murphy, a seasoned urologist with 35 years under his belt, made his observations clear in a video uploaded to his social media. According to him, the President’s evident decline has left America without a leader who can stand strong and think critically during times of crisis.
Murphy isn’t mincing words when talking about the President’s mental state. With experience in treating many older patients, he has a clear understanding of cognitive decline. Murphy himself recently underwent surgery for a pituitary macroadenoma but seemed more focused on Biden’s health, which he claims is being concealed by the White House and other political figures. It’s not just about one man’s health; it’s about national security and effective leadership.
As if that weren’t enough, 10 other Democratic party members are calling for Biden to hang up his presidential boots. Senators and Representatives from various states, including Texas, Massachusetts, and Arizona, have publicly asked the President to rethink his decision to run for a second term. Clearly, concern is growing from within his party, suggesting this issue transcends partisan bickering.

Murphy points out the President’s declining ability to think and react—a concerning trait for anyone, let alone the leader of the free world. With external threats and national crises always looming, having a fully capable Commander-in-Chief is non-negotiable. Yet, the White House continues to downplay these concerns, leaving Americans wondering who they can trust.
Despite the mounting criticism, Biden, backed by his wife Jill and Vice President Kamala Harris, is sticking to his guns, insisting he won’t bow out of the presidential race. His debate performance against former President Donald Trump may be celebrated by his camp, but for many, the questions about his cognitive abilities remain unanswered. The American people deserve a leader who can not only campaign but effectively govern, and as of now, that’s a promise still hanging in the balance.
