After an extended period of lying to the American people about President Joe Biden’s cognitive health, which was shown during his disastrous debate performance, Biden’s handlers have cut the cord on his bid for reelection after mounting pressure from Democrat leaders and slipping poll numbers.

In his announcement, Biden highlighted his administration’s supposed achievements over the past three and a half years, including economic recovery, healthcare reforms and climate legislation.
