Former Washington Post investigative reporter Carl Bernstein says those close to Biden have told him the president’s cognitive decline has accelerated in the last six months.

Veteran Washington journalist Carl Bernstein says those “very close” to Joe Biden have told him the “horror show” debate performance was not a one-off and that the president’s cognitive decline has accelerated since the start of the year.

While some critics have pointed fingers at Biden aides who prepared him for the debate, others including theeditorial board said Biden should step aside as the Democratic Party candidate against Donald Trump in the November 5 election. Biden and top Democrats say he has no plans to do so and intends to beat Trump.

“And what’s so significant is the people that this is coming from, and also how many people around the president are aware of such incidents, including some reporters incidentally who have witnessed some of them.”
