Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Recent Biden Gaffes Highlight Concerns Over His Age and Mental Health
Caption: Recent Biden Gaffes Highlight Concerns Over His Age and Mental Health. 'The Guardian' reports that President Joe Biden has twice mistakenly identified dead European leaders as having talked to him about the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. On February 7, Biden referred to former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl while speaking at a campaign fundraiser in New York. Biden said he spoke to Kohl, who died in 2017, regarding concerns in Europe about attempts to stop the certification of Biden's 2020 election win. Just three days earlier, while recounting a similar anecdote about EU perception of the January 6 Capitol attack, Biden appeared to confuse French politicians. While speaking in Nevada, Biden referred to a conversation with former French President François Mitterrand, who died in 1996. At the age of 81, Biden is the oldest president to ever seek reelection in the history of the country, which has made health concerns an issue for many voters. According to a recent NBC poll, three quarters of voters expressed concerns about Biden's physical and mental health. The issue has become a key point for Republicans, who claim Biden is unfit to hold office. Meanwhile, Biden is likely to face former President Donald Trump, who is currently 77 years old, in the upcoming 2024 presidential race. Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, Trump's last serious opponent in the Republican nomination race, has criticized both men as being too old to hold office.
