As the American people continue to witness President Joe Biden’s increasingly concerning health decline, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) has brazenly dismissed such concerns in a recent interview with CNN. Instead, he pushed a narrative that Biden is excelling at an “extraordinary” rate and that “there is really zero evidence that Joe Biden can’t do this job.” However, the facts suggest otherwise.

It is no secret that Biden’s advanced age has led to numerous gaffes in public that range from embarrassing to downright dangerous. He yells for no reason, slurs his words, and even recently claimed that the United States had finally found a cure for cancer. These moments of incoherence have led many to speculate whether or not the president is suffering from cognitive decline. Moreover, the fact that he cannot even navigate the main stairway of Air Force One and is forced to use the shorter staircase is a clear indication that he may not be in the best of health.
Despite these troubling signs, Chris Murphy remains deaf to the concerns of the American people. Instead, he chooses to laud Biden as a “master legislative tactician” who is responsible for the passage of some of the most significant bills in modern history. However, it is worth noting that these bills were passed with the help of an equally compromised Congress, and not due to Biden’s supposed skills as a legislator. In fact, many of these bills are highly controversial and have faced significant pushback from the American people, even within his own party.
The American people deserve better than a leader who is clearly struggling with his own health and cognitive abilities. Instead of blindly supporting Biden, Senator Chris Murphy should be more concerned with his well-being and fitness to serve as president. The fact that he is not is a clear indication that he is more interested in pushing his own political agenda than serving the American people. It is time for him and other Democrats to wake up and put the needs of the country ahead of their own political interests. The future of America depends on it.
