Most, including 39% of Democrats, fear Biden a ‘threat’ to US security – Washington Examiner
The summary of the article is that President Joe Biden’s perceived mental decline is becoming a concern for national security, according to a new poll. This finding is expected to increase efforts to remove him from office before his term ends. Biden recently announced that he will not seek reelection in 2024 after a poor debate performance and criticism of his behavior on the campaign trail. Some have suggested that Biden is senile and should step down, but he attributes his poor appearances to jet lag, COVID-19, and lack of sleep. A majority of voters see his mental decline as a threat to national security.
Most, including 39% of Democrats, fear Biden a ‘threat’ to US security
President Joe Biden’s perceived mental decline is fast turning into a threat to national security, according to a new poll — a finding that is expected to bolster the efforts to push him out of the White House before his term ends on Jan. 20.
Biden over the weekend flip-flopped and announced he was leaving the 2024 race for reelection after a debacle in his first debate with GOP challenger Donald Trump and after the media began to highlight his stumbles and mumbles on the campaign trail.
Some have suggested that Biden is “senile” and began pushing for him to leave office now. But he has argued that there were other reasons for his poor appearances, citing jet lag, COVID-19, and a lack of sleep.
He just came off a series of foreign trips where he at times appeared befuddled. This week, he was unable to keep a planned meeting with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The two now plan to meet on Thursday.

In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 61% said that Biden’s “mental decline” is a threat to national security. Remarkably, 39% of Democrats and 62% of independents agreed in the poll done with the Heartland Institute before Biden bowed out of his reelection campaign.
“Clearly, most Americans believe that President Biden’s mental decline, which was on full display in late June during the debate, has become so acute that it poses a serious national security threat to the United States,” said Chris Talgo, the editorial director of the Heartland Institute.
“I find it almost inconceivable that more than 6 in 10 Americans think the current commander in chief and leader of the free world is unable to perform his most fundamental duty: keeping Americans safe from threats at home and abroad,” Talgo added.
