During a White House address on Tuesday night about the mental health crisis in the U.S., President Joe Biden made a controversial statement that appeared to claim he had “ended cancer as we know it”.
Biden expressed his aspiration to cure cancer, raising questions and attracting criticism over the ambiguity of his remarks. Critics online quickly pounced on the apparent gaffe, using it as a platform to question the president’s own mental health.
Adding to recent concerns, Biden’s physical stumble at the U.S. Air Force Academy commencement ceremony, where he tripped over a sandbag and required assistance to get up, has intensified public scrutiny.
Alongside these incidents, GOP leaders have started discussing impeachment due to the mounting legal issues surrounding the president’s son, Hunter Biden. This combination of speaking missteps, physical mishaps, and ongoing legal controversies have amplified the challenges facing the Biden administration.
