The latest instance of a video of Biden becoming viral due to purportedly poor mental acuity occurred over the weekend.

While on stage alongside former president Barrack Obama, Biden is seen in the video to “freeze up.” Biden is then led off stage by Obama, who takes him by the hand.

Details on the Video in Question

The video in question is the recent fundraiser held by President Biden and he was barely able to finish the sentence and seemed to be groping for words.

Another person who reacted to the scandal was a former White House press secretary, Sarah Sanders. She accused the Democrats of being ‘desperate’ to bring trouble to the President.

Democrats Supportive of the President

Democrats have demonstrated support for the President . They emphasize his fitness for the top-most duties and disregarding tendencies of Alzheimer’s disease as a mere political gimmick.

Republicans have also been very critical of the President. Some even question his sanity, urging him to take time off or even resign from office.

The harshest reactions are there insinuating that Biden has dementia or is not mentally fit to lead the nation but failing to note some of his major policy blunders.

Criticizing Jean-Pierre

In an X post by user End Wokeness, where the footage is criticized. A video of press secretary Jean-Pierre calling the popular Biden clips “deep fakes” also went viral, with over three million views.

Jean-Pierre stated in the clip, “Instead of talking about the president’s performance in office. By that I mean his legislative wins we are seeing these deep fakes and manipulated videos.”

Costs and Impacts of Polarization

The fight for or against the idea of President Biden being assessed for his mental fitness has showcased the levels of polarization in the United States of America’s political system.

As a result of this, some citizens are demanding transparency and accountability from their leaders.

Numerous Videos Surfaced Online 

The justification that all of these clips are “faked” and selectively manipulated. This is according to several online users, but it seems unlikely given the volume of them that are available.

“What about the older videos? One X user created a three-minute montage of multiple videos demonstrating Biden’s apparent mental limitations. “Deep Fakes too?” the user remarked.

Americans Are Not Confident in Biden’s Mental State 

Ahead of the election, voters are considering the mental health of the current crop of presidential contenders, given their advancing age. The rival, Donald Trump, is 78 years old, and Joe Biden is 81 years old.

In an AP-NORC poll conducted in March 2024, one in every two people surveyed reported that they were either not very or not at all confident in Biden’s mental fitness to lead the country as the president.

Trump’s Reaction to the Viral Video 

Donald Trump did not miss this viral moment or the chance to poke fun at his presidential challenger. Also, Trump increased the clip’s visibility to his followers in a Truth Social post.

“Is your desire for a President truly this person?” Trump wrote above the now-viral Obama-Biden video. Also, a Truth Social user responded, saying, “The “shadow President” has to help the Resident off stage.”

The Fact About the Clips 

There is now a heated debate on the internet about whether or not Biden’s mental acuity is impaired in these clips. Biden’s allies claim that the conservative leaders and media organizations have deliberately sought to distort the videos.

They also view mainstream media’s attempt to ‘tidy up’ things while reporting a new viral video of Biden as forming part of the false narrative. Considering the growing intensity of the pressure and the growing stakes for each political organization before election day. It also seems that the struggle to depict the opposition as mentally ill will continue.
