Olivia Nuzzi&#8217;s piece for New York Magazine includes accounts of \u2063friends who were shocked by the president&#8217;s forgetfulness. Recent exchanges at\u200d the White House have highlighted Biden&#8217;s cognitive struggles, leading to \u2063speculation about his ability to serve as president. Conservatives were \u200bthe \u2062first to notice Biden&#8217;s decline, and left-wing media\u2064 pundits have also begun expressing concerns. Biden&#8217;s inner\u2063 circle have reportedly had\u2063 concerns for some time, indicating that the end \u2062may \u2064be near. With the prospect of a second Trump \u2062term\u2063 becoming more \u2062likely, Democrats are facing disarray. this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/theyre-coming-for-your-favorite-podcasts\/\" title=\"They\u2019re Coming For Your Favorite Podcasts\">article sheds light<\/a> on the growing recognition of\u2063 Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline among various groups.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"> <?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/sshort\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/sshort\/%20\"><span>Samuel Short<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   July 5, 2024 at 9:02am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>After last Thursday\u2019s debate opposite former President Donald Trump at CNN\u2019s headquarters in Atlanta, it seems the dam has broken as a vast number of media networks now cannot deny President Joe Biden is experiencing severe cognitive decline.<\/p>\n<p>While the media now admit what Democrats are also forced to see, Biden\u2019s closest friends and allies are now \u2014 albeit anonymously \u2014 coming forward with their own accounts.<\/p>\n<p>In her <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/article\/conspiracy-of-silence-to-protect-joe-biden.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">piece for New York Magazine<\/a> on Thursday, Olivia Nuzzi reported exchanges with close friends of the president who expressed the concerns over Biden\u2019s demeanor \u2014 once condemned as a right<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/erickson-the-death-of-democracy-is-overstated\/\" title=\"ERICKSON: The Death Of Democracy Is Overstated\">-wing conspiracy theory<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/panic-mode-kjp-scrambles-cover-biden-freezes-obama-says-videos-fake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201ccheap fake.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nuzzi wrote, \u201cThose who encountered the president in social settings sometimes left their interactions disturbed. Longtime friends of the Biden family, who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, were shocked to find that the president did not remember their names.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One guest at a White House event in 2023 was incredibly distraught at Biden not staying for the reception, becoming more open to the idea that, \u201cThe president may not really be the acting president after all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She included a recent exchange Biden had with a Democrat megadonor at the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Here, Biden stared blankly while nodding before first lady <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jill-biden-appears-vogue-cover-alongside-tone-deaf-quote-imaginable-amid-turmoil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jill Biden<\/a> intervened and instructed the president to thank the individual while also telling her husband their name.<\/p>\n<p>One witness said, \u201cIt hasn\u2019t been good for a long time, but it\u2019s gotten so, so much worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An exchange between Nuzzi and Biden from April clearly left a deep impression on her months later.<\/p>\n<p>While attending a reception in the basement of the Washington Hilton before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-biden-gets-brutally-roasted-snl-comedian-white-house-correspondents-dinner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">White House Correspondent\u2019s dinner<\/a>, Nuzzi waited in a line to get her picture taken with the president.<\/p>\n<p>Nuzzi recounted vividly how that exchange with Biden went.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUp close, the president does not look quite plausible. It\u2019s not that he\u2019s old.
