“Democratic operatives have urged Joe Biden to avoid public appearances as dramatic revelations about his cognitive state during the 2024 presidential race hit the party’s efforts to oppose Donald Trump,” the Financial Times reports.
“The former US president has given his first interviews in recent days since leaving office — a bid to defend his legacy just as damning accounts reveal his mental decline in office and his inner circle’s efforts to conceal it.”
“But strategists said Biden’s reappearance was causing more damage to a party that is struggling to recover from Kamala Harris’s shattering defeat to Trump in November.”
