A bombshell report that found Joe Biden had “significant limitations in his memory” has handed the White House to Donald Trump, a senior Democrat believes.
Dean Phillips, who is Mr Biden’s only remaining challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, called on other members of his party to “face the truth” about the President.
It comes after a report into the US president’s handling of classified documents found he struggled to remember when he was vice president, or when his son died.
Mr Phillips told Fox News: “The Report simply affirms what most Americans already know, that the President cannot continue to serve as our Commander-in-Chief beyond his term ending January 20, 2025.
“Already facing the lowest approval numbers in modern history and losing in each of the key battleground states, this Report has all but handed the 2024 election to Donald Trump if Joe Biden is the Democratic nominee — and I invite fellow Democrats to face the truth.”
Mr Biden angrily defended himself last night, saying his memory was “fine” – but in the process confused Mexico and Egypt when talking about the Middle East.
