The new drug also carries some risk, as a significant percentage of patients in clinical trials experienced swelling and bleeding in the brain after taking Leqembi.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas Trump has no discernible flaws, Biden has been widely <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/joe-biden-too-old\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">criticized<\/a> as &#8220;too old to be president.&#8221; He would be 86 by the time he left office after two terms and has already exceeded the average life expectancy for American males by several years. His cognitive decline is glaringly obvious to anyone who has watched him attempt to speak in public. A recent CNBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/12\/09\/majority-of-americans-dont-want-biden-or-trump-to-run-again-in-2024-cnbc-survey-shows.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a> found that 70 percent of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, don&#8217;t want Biden to run for reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has repeatedly refused to subject himself to independent testing that could shed light on his cognitive health, or lack thereof. When CBS reporter Errol Barnett asked Biden in 2020 if he would take a cognitive test to allay voter concerns about his health, the then-candidate responded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/08\/05\/joe-biden-reporter-cognitive-test-391771\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accusing<\/a> the black journalist of being a &#8220;cocaine&#8221; &#8220;junkie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump, by contrast, is renowned for his superhuman stamina and has aced every cognitive test he&#8217;s ever taken. An esteemed doctor famously described him as &#8220;the healthiest individual ever elected president.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-3 text-red font-serif text-xl md:text-4xl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/biden-old-man-wander-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WATCH: Two Minutes of Joe Biden Wandering Around Looking Lost<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a critical boost to President Joe Biden&#8217;s reelection prospects, the Food and Drug Administration has approved a new Alzheimer&#8217;s drug that &#8220;may modestly slow the pace of cognitive decline,&#8221; according to the New York Times.<br \/>\nThe post FDA Fast-Tracks New Alzheimer\u2019s Drug in Boost to Biden\u2019s Reelection Bid appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":97,"featured_media":1799889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[11707,4092,7564,3706,7838,5642,14058,8468,8313],"class_list":["post-1799886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-alzheimers","tag-beacon","tag-bid","tag-bidens","tag-boost","tag-drug","tag-fast-tracks","tag-fda","tag-reelection"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1799886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/97"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1799886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1799886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1799889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1799886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1799886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1799886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
