Capehart asked about recent polling that finds most Americans say Biden shouldn\u2019t run again because of his age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only reason to be involved in public life is: Can you make life better for other people,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<p>Capehart then asked Biden if he is going to run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not made that formal decision but it\u2019s my intention, my intention to \u2014 and we have time to make that decision,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Biden is for it?\u201d Capehart asked, referring to first lady Jill Biden, who is not a medical doctor but holds an Ed.D., an education degree.<\/p>\n<p>Biden fell silent and appeared to take a long trip in his mind, prompting Capehart to try to snap him out of it. \u201cMr. President?\u201d he said as Biden sat there stone-faced. Amid signs that Biden might be returning from his trip, Capehart said, \u201cOpe,\u201d as in, \u201cOh, there you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yup, Biden was back \u2014 sort of. \u201cDr. Biden thinks that, uh, my wife thinks that, uh\u2026\u201d he said, followed by another long pause. \u201c\u2026 that I, uh, that, that we\u2019re, that we\u2019re doing something very important and that I shouldn\u2019t walk away from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Huh?<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BIDEN: &#8220;It&#8217;s my intention to run again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Q: &#8220;Dr. Biden is for it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: *silence*<\/p>\n<p>Q: &#8220;Mr. President?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: &#8220;Dr. Biden thinks that uh, my wife thinks that uh, that I uh, that, that we&#8217;re, that we&#8217;re doing something very important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udd14 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/G4GGD32zG2\">pic.twitter.com\/G4GGD32zG2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1583601424968994816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The legacy media ignored the whole scene \u2014 even though if the former president had done it, hoo boy, it\u2019d be wall-to-wall coverage for weeks. But one lawmaker ripped Biden, saying he\u2019s clearly not competent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is really sad, but he reminds me of a Madame Tussauds wax figure,\u201d Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/biden-not-competent-president-appearing-zone-msnbc-interview-rep-claudia-tenney\">said<\/a> on Fox News. \u201cHe comes out, and they turn him on, and he delivers talking points that are presented to him by his shadow government, the staff behind him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s really showing that he\u2019s not competent to do this most important job in our nation. And I really, I joined on a letter with Congressman [Ronny] Jackson about making him subject to a cognitive test \u2026 this is serious stuff. We\u2019ve got enemies around the world. You\u2019ve been interviewing tremendous people about China, about what\u2019s happening in the war in Europe, which is unprecedented,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to start looking into whether Joe Biden is actually capable of being the president. I think he\u2019s not. I think we should consider all of these avenues,\u201d Tenney said.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-seven GOP lawmakers joined Rep. Jackson (R-TX) in signing the letter. \u201cMy colleagues and I are again asking President Biden to immediately undergo a formal cognitive screening exam, such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA),\u201d Jackson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/republicans-urge-biden-to-take-cognitive-test-say-mental-decline-has-become-more-apparent\">told<\/a> Fox News Digital in an email.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a former physician to three Presidents of the United States, I know what it takes mentally and physically to execute the duties of Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cJoe Biden has continually proven to me and to the world that something isn\u2019t right. The American people deserve to have absolute confidence in their President\u2019s cognitive ability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
