Leaks surrounding Biden’s private reactions have sparked speculation about their intentions. Some view them as a strategic move to garner sympathy for the president amidst scrutiny from the Special Counsel’s report. Others interpret them as signs of internal turmoil within the administration.

The leaks highlight ongoing concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities and raise questions about the accuracy of his public statements.

Instances where he struggled to recall details during public appearances, such as the name of the church where his son’s rosary originated, only add to existing skepticism.
