Chuck Schumer Defends Democrats' Handling of Biden's Mental Fitness Questions

The Senate Minority Leader denies misleading the public about President Biden's cognitive health during his presidency and withdrawal from the 2024 race.

In a 'Meet the Press' interview, Chuck Schumer denied allegations that Democrats misled voters about President Joe Biden's mental acuity during his time in office.
Schumer defended Biden's record, highlighting legislative achievements such as passing significant laws and appointing 235 judges, which he called historic accomplishments.
The senator insisted Biden stepped down from the 2024 presidential race voluntarily, prioritizing the Democratic Party and national interest over personal ambition.
Pressed on whether Biden could have served another term, Schumer declined to speculate, instead emphasizing Biden's legacy as an 'outstanding president.'
Critics from both sides of the aisle have questioned whether Democrats were transparent about Biden's cognitive state, especially following his debated performance against Donald Trump in 2024.
