Concerns about former President Joe Biden’s health grew worse during his time in office, leading to private talks among his staff about whether he might need a wheelchair if he had won reelection in 2024. This information comes from the upcoming book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, which describes a presidency struggling with the physical decline of its leader.
Biden’s worsening physical condition became more noticeable throughout 2023 and 2024. His stiff way of walking, which a Biden spokesperson said was due to wear and tear on his spine, worried people working for him. These worries grew after several public incidents where the president tripped or fell, including a fall at the Air Force Academy graduation and another before a speech about Israel.
