President Joe Biden's age and memory are questioned by Republicans during a hearing, but it fails to provide new evidence or support their argument against his re-election.
President Joe Biden tried to put voters’ concerns about his age to rest last week with a fiery State of the Union address. From his forceful performance to his self-deprecating jokes about his age, he inoculated himself from the narrative, pushed by some on the right, that the 81-year-old couldn’t even get through a prime-time speech.
Tuesday’s appearance by former special counsel Robert Hur before Congress over his investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents gave Republicans a new opportunity to delve into questions about the president’s memory and raise concerns about his ability to do the hardest job in the world for another four years. But if Republicans were hoping that Hur’s testimony would do their political heavy lifting for them, they will have to think again. The hearing didn’t reveal much the initial report hadn’t already. And as part of the long march toward Election Day, the GOP will have to figure out how — and if — it can use the age issue in service of a broader argument against four more years
