The upcoming debate promises to shed light on President Biden’s physical fitness, or lack thereof. While the President won’t be juiced up on energy drinks, he’s aiming to showcase a vigor that hasn’t been evident in his recent public appearances.
Observing Biden’s campaign schedule, it’s hard to ignore the scarcity of his rallies. With just 11 campaign events this year, and a mere two since March, the lackluster energy of his campaign is palpable. And when he does take the stage, Biden’s speeches are often shorter than a sitcom episode, begging the question of whether he has the stamina required for the presidency.
If Biden Is So Fit, Why Do Most of His Speeches Last Less Than 30 Minutes?https://t.co/vucwnSJnjX

Contrasting Biden’s brief speeches, former President Trump’s rallies were endurance tests, lasting at least an hour and sometimes stretching to two. Trump’s extemporaneous style may meander, but it demonstrates a resilience that seems to elude Biden as he struggles to go beyond the 30-minute mark.
Adding to concerns about Biden’s endurance is his limited interactions with the press. Holding only 36 news conferences, compared to Trump’s 60 and Obama’s 74 during similar timeframes, Biden’s reticence raises questions about his ability to face the demands of the presidency, especially in times of crisis.
In a world where leadership can be tested at any moment, the need for a president who can handle the stresses of the job is paramount. Biden’s inability to match the energy and endurance of his predecessors casts doubts on his readiness to handle the rigors of the Oval Office, raising concerns about his ability to answer that 2 a.m. call decisively.
