New Evidence Reveals Biden’s Cognitive Decline
New details from a book reveal concerning signs of Biden’s mental decline, including forgetting Dole’s death and confusing Beau’s passing.

Former President Joe Biden has faced new scrutiny over his cognitive decline, with recent revelations from an updated edition of the book Original Sin by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. The book details troubling moments, including Biden forgetting that longtime Senate colleague Bob Dole had died, despite delivering a nationally televised eulogy for him at the Washington National Cathedral in December 2021.
Biden Confuses Beau’s Passing
The updated edition also reveals that Biden appeared to believe his late son, Beau, who died in 2015, was still alive and fighting cancer. These incidents have raised questions about Biden’s mental state, particularly given the severity of the issues raised in the book.
Biden’s Response to the Claims
A Biden spokesman has dismissed the claims regarding Beau, stating, “There has not been a single day since May 30, 2015 when President Biden has not felt the pain of losing his son Beau to cancer, and for anyone to suggest otherwise, much less profit off that lie, speaks volumes about the character and credibility of the authors.” Alex Thompson, one of the book’s authors, urged readers to form their own opinions by reading the book.
Biden Ends 2024 Campaign
Biden’s cognitive decline has been a major factor in his decision to end his 2024 reelection campaign. After a disastrous debate against Donald Trump, where his answers were often incoherent, Biden announced his withdrawal, stating, “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
Tapper Regrets Not Investigating More
Jake Tapper, who co-moderated the debate, has expressed regret over not investigating Biden’s health issues more aggressively. Tapper admitted, “I can point to times where I asked him this or I asked them that … but knowing what I know now, I barely scratched the surface. I need to run more towards the discomfort of questions about health because they’re so important and they’re so under-covered in Washington.”
