A former White House physician under three administrations claims that the Democratic Party is facing concerns about President Biden's mental fitness and control over his administration.
Former Congressman and White House physician Ronny Jackson has expressed concerns about President Biden's leadership and fitness for office, stating that Democrats are recognizing the gravity of the situation.
Jackson, who served as the physician to the president under the Obama and Trump administrations, has been vocal in his critique of Biden's mental acuity. He believes that the president is not in control of his administration and is not fit to lead the country for a second term.

Jackson's comments come in the wake of Biden's widely criticized performance in his first presidential debate with former President Donald Trump. Critics cited Biden's stumbling speech, loss of train of thought, and weak demeanor as evidence of his declining mental health.
Jackson argues that Biden is not the same man he was during his time as vice president under former President Barack Obama. He believes that Biden's apparent cognitive decline is a serious concern for national security and the integrity of American democracy.

The concerns over Biden's mental fitness have been echoed by other members of the Democratic Party. Jeh Johnson, the former Secretary of Homeland Security under Obama, has expressed support for Biden's re-election but acknowledges the worries about his age and capability.
Other prominent Democrats, including former Obama adviser Van Jones and Vice President Kamala Harris, have also voiced concerns about Biden's debate performance, calling it a "disaster" and a "train wreck."

The New York Times and Chicago Tribune have published editorials calling on Biden to consider dropping out of the race, citing his age and perceived mental challenges.
Jackson believes that the ongoing inflation, immigration crisis, and weaponization of the justice system under the Biden administration are due to an "inner circle" within the White House making decisions instead of the president himself. He claims that Biden is oblivious to the decisions and actions being taken in his name.

The White House has dismissed Jackson's comments and compared him to a fictional doctor character from "The Simpsons." However, Jackson maintains that his concerns are based on his observations and experience as a physician.
Amidst the media and political scrutiny, Biden has defended his performance and remains determined to continue his campaign. He has attended campaign events and fundraisers following the debate and has stated that he is "fighting harder" despite his perceived setbacks.

First lady Jill Biden has also defended her husband, stating that the debate performance will not define his presidency. She believes that Biden will continue to fight for the best interests of the country.
The Democratic National Committee is reportedly considering formally nominating Biden as early as mid-July, with the Democratic convention scheduled for the end of August.

Jackson believes that the contrast between Biden and Trump is clear, and that it is time for a change in American leadership. He believes that Trump should be elected to "Make America Great Again" and address the challenges facing the country.
