On CNN's State of the Union, host Jake Tapper continued the widespread panic in liberal media circles over disastrous poll numbers released by ABC News & the Washington Post showing Biden losing to former President Donald Trump as well as only 32 percent of voters believing Biden has the "mental sharpness" to be President. That latter point stunned Tapper who subsequently shared the news with his panelists.
"Pretty stark numbers there. Do Biden and Trump have the mental sharpness to serve? 32 percent of the American people say Biden does not. 63 percent—I'm sorry. 32 percent say he has the mental sharpness. 63 percent says he does not. Me not being so sharp this morning," Tapper announced.
"And then Donald Trump 54 percent say yes he is sharp enough to be President, 43 percent say no," he added.
Turning to panelist Karen Finney, Tapper remarked "you know, that is not a good number for President Biden. Two-thirds of the American people say he’s not sharp enough to be President."
Finney began whistling past the graveyard and suggested things will get better for Biden as if his apparent dementia will improve. "He’s doing the job. He is getting record victories. We got gun legislation. We just had a great jobs report on Friday. I mean look, this is why we have a campaign. Right? We will—this will be tested in the context of this campaign."
The 2024 campaign won't be the same as it was in 2020. Biden won't be able to hide in his basement like last time. He will need to be out traveling the country speaking in front of voters. That will be a serious liability for him. Even the leftist media won't be able to completely cover up his gaffes and incoherent ramblings since they will air on live television.
