There has long been debate regarding President Biden's cognitive capabilities, with many stating his mental health is in decline.
On Wednesday, he seemed to brush off a question from a reporter who brought up the matter during his press conference.
"I'd like to raise a delicate subject, but with utmost respect for your life accomplishments and the high office you hold," a reporter asked President Biden. "A poll released this morning by Politico Morning Consult found 49% of registered voters disagreeing with the statement, 'Joe Biden is mentally fit. Not even a majority of Democrats who responded strongly affirmed that statement."

"Why do you suppose such large segments of the American electorate have come to harbor such profound concerns about your cognitive fitness?" the reporter asked.
President Biden replied, simply, "I have no idea," then called on the next reporter.

Biden was strongly denounced for his failure to convince his own party to pass voting reform measures - and further for declaring that 2020 saw more people vote than ever before.
"Maybe I'm just being too much of an optimist. Remember how we thought not that many people were going to show up to vote in the middle of a pandemic? We had the highest voter turnout in the history of the United States of America," the President announced.
