Joe Biden's age and mental acuity have become a litmus test for the next leaders in his party.

A new book alleges White House aides covered up Biden 's physical and mental decline.

Several potential Democratic contenders for the 2028 nomination have been asked whether they believe Biden was declining in office or whether he should have sought reelection.

“I think he needs to stop giving interviews. I think that would help,” McEnerney said.

“Like MacArthur said, generals just fade away.” Janet Stumps , a 66-year-old Democrat also from Goodyear , a Phoenix suburb, said Biden should be commended for his age.
