Former US President Bill Clinton has publicly supported Joe Biden's mental acuity, stating he believed Biden was in "good shape" during their recent conversation. Clinton addressed claims from the book "Original Sin," which alleges Biden's cognitive state has deteriorated, necessitating a team to manage his duties. Clinton asserted, "No, I thought he was a good president," emphasizing his faith in Biden’s capabilities yet acknowledging the challenges of leading at an older age, according to Indiatimes, Newsweek, and The Hill.
Clinton further clarified he had not read "Original Sin," which suggests Biden’s health issues were concealed from the public. "I didn't want to because he's not president anymore, and I think he did a good job," Clinton stated, highlighting his belief that the current political discourse unfairly blames Biden for broader electoral challenges. He remarked, "I had never seen him and walked away thinking he can't do this anymore," reinforcing his perception of Biden’s competence, according to Indiatimes, Newsweek, and The Hill.
