The White House held a press briefing on Tuesday to address concerns about President Joe Biden's mental fitness following his poor performance in last week's debate. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged that the president did not have a great night during the debate but emphasized that he is still capable of holding and running for office.
Despite facing criticism and calls for him to drop out of the race, the White House assured the public that President Biden will continue to focus on delivering for the American people on the issues that matter to them. Jean-Pierre mentioned that the president had been sick and still had a cold during the debate, but did not take any cold medication prior to the event.
