Medical experts questioned President Joe Biden’s eligibility to run for reelection after he reported his 80th birthday.
They are concerned that Biden, who would be 86 at the conclusion of a second term, is already displaying signs of “cognitive impairment” and that the strain of another term could exacerbate his condition and raise the possibility of an accident occurring on-screen.
The President’s first term has been marked by high-profile blunders, mishaps, and appearances of confusion, such as falling off his bike in Delaware and tripping up the stairs of Air Force One.
Seven problems were found during Biden’s annual medical, including a heart disease that makes him feel lightheaded and confused. His brain has two aneurysms.
Dr. Elena Mucci said to DailyMail.com, “If I were his geriatrician, I would discourage him from campaigning.” It is strongly advised against.
Dr. Mucci continued, “I don’t think you will find a single doctor who would say it’s a good thing for an 86-year-old with the symptoms he’s demonstrated to us already to become a president, both for his own health and for his country. If you were to survey healthcare professionals, geriatricians, and cardiologists.
Since 2003, Biden has experienced atrial fibrillation. His heart condition is treated with Eliquis, apixaban.
Dr. Mucci lists exhaustion as one of the signs and symptoms of atrial fibrillation.
His options will be limited, and he might not be able to finish all of his tasks. At that age, it’s not feasible.

Last year, he denied that he was too old and psychologically unfit to serve as president. He said to CBS’ Scott Pelley, “Watch me.
Dr. Mucci noted that people frequently minimize cognitive problems.
‘Subjectively, you will be under-appreciating your symptoms and not giving those symptoms enough attention, whether you are about to lose your presidency, your driver’s license, or your job,’ she said.
I believe that [Biden] is well aware of the situation, but he has chosen not to publicly admit it because he doesn’t want to lose the president.
A California internist named Dr. Dung Trinh claims that Biden’s age and health issues make him more likely to develop dementia.
According to him, we lose about one percent of our brain volume each year as we get older.
A 70-year-old’s chance of developing Alzheimer’s doubles in five years.
In their mid-80s, 85 or beyond, 30–40% of persons show mild cognitive decline.
Dr. Todd Grande, a psychiatrist in Delaware, claimed that Biden’s “performance in the areas of logic and memory are deteriorated.”
‘It’s difficult to comprehend how he is fit to be president under these circumstances,’ Dr. Grande continued.
Despite growing concerns about his mental health, Biden’s doctor gave him a nearly perfect physical in February.
He described the President as a “80-year-old male who is fit to successfully discharge the functions of the Presidency” in a five-page assessment.
The humiliating errors keep happening. Biden, who is proud of his Irish heritage, unintentionally cited British soldiers who tortured Irish people during a speech in Ireland last month instead of a New Zealand rugby team.

They suggest deterioration, in Dr. Mucci’s opinion.
Is this aging healthily? Or mild cognitive impairment or pre-dementia. She said, “Time will tell.”
He will deteriorate gradually if he is aging. It must happen. Memory loss will speed up in people with mild cognitive impairment.
10% to 15% of people with mild cognitive impairment get dementia.
Even while the verbal lapses are not a sign of a larger issue, she continued, being a successful president at such a senior age is challenging.
He won’t make a good leader, I think.
It is inevitable that [he] will have to make extremely important decisions quickly, under pressure, and in a limited amount of time.
A person who is 80 years or older and experiencing all of these age-related brain changes may not have the cognitive speed necessary to quickly understand, absorb, and assimilate information in order to make important judgments. That is not ageism, but common sense.
She remarked, “He might not have dementia or moderate cognitive impairment. Despite natural aging, that level requires a sharp mind. Forgetting things is inappropriate in his position.
