Washington, DC [US], Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has claimed that several prominent Democratic leaders have suggested that US President Joe Biden has "brain damage" and that it is only a matter of time before he is removed of his candidacy for office again. .

Carlson also took to his X platform to say that Barack Obama's support for Biden was "fake" and that he had privately been telling Democrats that President Biden "can't win."

After the CNN-hosted debate between Biden and Trump, Obama had expressed his support for Biden, acknowledging that "bad debate nights happen." Meanwhile, Tucker said that former US President Donald Trump is currently not just the Republican presidential candidate. but, in fact, the alleged president. He said that if Trump is put behind bars, "it had better be for a felony" that everyone agrees he committed it, otherwise he would risk destroying the system.

In his post they will do immediately. If Kamala is going to be the candidate, she might as well be president first."

"That leaves the question of Trump and his July 11 sentencing. Biden's collapse makes this a much more dangerous moment than it was. At this point, Trump is not just the Republican nominee, but effectively the presumptive president. "To imprison him, it had better be for a very serious crime that everyone agrees he committed. Otherwise, we risk destroying the system completely and forever. "Democrats must back off," he added. His statement comes days after Donald Trump and Joe Biden engaged in a heated debate broadcast live on CNN. The age disparity between the 81-year-old sitting president of the United States and his rival, 78, was clearly evident throughout the evening, with Biden noticeably hoarse and displaying a limited vocal range, struggling at times to articulate clear differences with Trump.

Top US Democratic leaders have strongly supported Biden, rejecting the notion that he should end his 2024 campaign for a second four-year term in the White House because of his faltering and disjointed performance in last week's debate against former President Donald Trump, Voice of America (VOA) reported.

Biden's Democratic allies readily acknowledged the 81-year-old Biden's shortcomings in the 90-minute nationally televised debate in which he at times struggled to complete sentences and at one point mistakenly said he had ended Medicare, the government health insurance for older Americans. Meanwhile, former Fox News TV host Carlson noted that relations between Biden and Obama have never been warm. However, according to him, the ties between two families have deteriorated further "due primarily to Jill Biden."

In a post on favor of an open convention. Obama will do it. He does not say who he supports, nor until yesterday afternoon had he met personally with Biden to convey the message. Relations between the Obamas and the Bidens have never been warm. At times they have been hostile. .

"But recently they have deteriorated further, mainly because of Jill Biden. In the hours and days after the debate, she kept her husband cloistered away from anyone who could convince him to leave the debate. Jill Biden is the driving force behind the her husband's re-election campaign, just as he was in 2020, when other family members (including Biden's sister Val) deemed him too deteriorated to run. The next generation of potential Democratic candidates understands all of this as an opportunity and. "Debate nights are bad. But this election is still bad. "a choice between someone who has fought for the common people all his life and someone who only cares about himself." . Between someone who tells the truth, who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people directly, and someone who blatantly lies for his own benefit last night didn't change that, and that's why so much is happening. at stake in November."

According to a new CBS-YouGov poll, Americans, by a margin of 72 to 27 percent, do not believe Biden has the "mental and cognitive health to serve as president," a reading that was seven percentage points worse there. ask. compared to three weeks ago, VOA reported. However, national polls between Biden and Trump still show the race still tied.

Meanwhile, top Democratic officials rejected the suggestion from some rank-and-file Democrats and editorials in The New York Times and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he drop out of the race for a younger candidate. Several Democrats, including Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore all expressed support for Biden following his debate with Trump.

Jim Clyburn said on CNN's "State of the Union," "I don't think Joe Biden will have a problem leading for the next four years because he's done a great job of leading for the last three and a half years." "I always say that the best predictor of future behavior is past performance."

"Oh, absolutely not," Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock told NBC's "Meet the Press." "Bad debates happen. The question is, 'Who has Donald Trump run for other than himself and people like him?' I'm with Joe Biden and our job is to make sure he gets over the finish line in November." Speaking on CBS News "Face the Nation," Wes Moore said that "the president had a tough night like all of us," but that's not should force him to abandon the November 5 elections. "Joe Biden is not going to get out of this race, nor should he."

In a contentious moment during the debate, Biden's defense of his border security record faded, prompting Trump's harsh response: "I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said." ". , any."

Trump, known for his election denialism, reiterated his claims about fraud in the 2020 election, despite stating that he would accept the results of the 2024 election if they were considered "fair and legal." In response, Biden accused Trump of complaining and reminded him of his previous election loss, according to CNN. This debate marked the first confrontation between a sitting president and a former president in history, and covered contentious topics such as abortion, immigration, foreign policy, and inflation.
