Voters across the country share their thoughts on President Biden's mental capabilities, with some expressing concerns about his age and showing signs of slowing down, while others remain unconvinced about its impact on his fitness for office.
As President Biden prepares for his first debate with former President Trump, Americans are voicing their opinions on his age and mental acuity. Some voters express concerns about his fitness for office, citing instances where he appeared frozen or confused. However, others believe it's not a significant issue and will still support him.
"Every day seems like he's not competent for the role," one voter stated, highlighting Trump's lack of similar inconsistencies. Another voter worries Biden may be "more persuaded to give in when he shouldn't" due to his age. A third voter expressed concern after witnessing a video where Biden appeared frozen at a Juneteenth event.

Some undecided voters remain unconvinced about Biden's cognitive abilities. "I don't think Biden's that bad," one voter said, acknowledging potential stumbles. Another undecided voter attributed Biden's physical appearance to aging and said it's not a concern for them.
Despite being close in age, voters perceive Trump as more mentally sharp. "Trump shows a much greater ability, in his mental capacities and cognitive functions than Biden," one voter observed. Another voter remarked that Trump "was able to function, speak normally, do normal things" at a similar age.

While some voters have reservations about Biden's cognitive abilities, they indicate it will not influence their vote. "I just don't wanna vote for Trump," one voter stated. Others emphasize the importance of Congress in decision-making, downplaying the impact of the Oval Office occupant's mental state.
The White House has dismissed videos depicting Biden as frozen or confused as "cheap fakes" and "misinformation." Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre mocked a question about a Juneteenth party video, saying, "I didn’t know that not dancing was a health issue."
