Mark Cuban, the well-known entrepreneur and TV judge, faced criticism after trying to defend President Joe Biden amid doubts about his ability to lead. The controversy started when Biden froze at an event with Hollywood stars during a standing ovation. During the awkward moment, Barack Obama stepped in to help guide Biden off stage.
Some people, like Piers Morgan and billionaire Bill Ackman, worried about Biden’s ability to lead. They questioned if Biden, being in his old age, could run the country effectively. Ackman compared Biden to Warren Buffett, emphasizing the need for a sharp leader.
I have been criticized by some for sharing these @POTUS Biden videos which appear almost every day. I have read numerous articles which somehow suggest that the camera angle, the duration of the clip or some form of right wing manipulation explains Biden’s behavior on camera.… https://t.co/n9aAXQGqdZ

In response, Cuban took to social media to defend Biden, stating that both candidates are old and have their moments of forgetfulness. He suggested that Biden, despite struggles with public speaking, can think in complete sentences. However, his defense was met with backlash, with Morgan criticizing Cuban for not facing the reality of Biden’s performance.
Critics argued that Cuban’s remarks were insensitive and failed to address the concerns about Biden’s ability to lead. They highlighted that leadership requires more than just speaking well; it demands energy, presence, and quick decision-making—qualities that some feel Biden lacks in his recent public appearances.
Cuban defended his stance by pointing out the natural decline in abilities as people age. He emphasized the challenges that come with old age and its impact on individuals. The debate over Biden’s capabilities continues, leaving the Democratic Party to grapple with how to address the mounting concerns about their leader.
As Cuban mentioned, it will be up to the voters to decide which candidate’s qualities are most suitable for the presidency. Conservatives may argue that Biden’s age and recent episodes raise valid doubts about his ability to effectively govern, leading to concerns about his capacity to handle the presidency’s demands.
