The article discusses the debate surrounding President Biden's age and declining capacity to serve as he seeks reelection. Conversations with Democrats revealed a reluctance to acknowledge his deterioration, driven by a fear of fragmenting the party and losing incumbency advantages. The new book 'Original Sin' critiques this mindset, labeling it a cover-up and illuminating a culture of groupthink within the Democratic leadership. The author argues that addressing these internal issues is crucial for the party's future, especially as the narrative of Biden's capabilities resurfaces amid rising concerns over Trump.
After conversations and a cable TV debate, it became clear that many Democrats were convinced of Bidenâs capabilities despite concerns about his age and performance.
The new book 'Original Sin' highlights how much Bidenâs inner circle and party leaders covered up his decline while largely lying to themselves.
The Democrats' current insistence on Biden's fitness appears fraudulent to many, particularly Republicans, yet it reflects a broader issue of groupthink within the party.
The reckoning brought by 'Original Sin' could challenge the Democratic party to confront their missteps and potentially reinvigorate the party ahead of the elections.
