Biden Las Vegas Speech Raises Questions
Joe Biden's campaign trail has been anything but smooth sailing. During a recent campaign event in Las Vegas, the former vice president made several confusing remarks that have raised concerns about his mental state. Speaking at the Pearson Community Center, Biden told the audience about a time when he met with "all the NATO leaders" at a G7 meeting shortly after his election. However, he seemed to mix up the two groups and mentioned having a conversation with the late Francois Mitterand, who was actually the French president from 1981 to 1995 and passed away in 1996.
This is not the first time Biden has shown signs of confusion and forgetfulness on the campaign trail. Just last month, he tried to take a picture with a member of Congress, Rep. Deborah Ross, only to realize that she had already passed away. These incidents bring into question his ability to hold such a high office, especially considering his age.

Furthermore, it seems that Biden's confusion and incoherence are only getting worse. What used to be just a few gaffes has now turned into a pattern of rambling and disorganization in his speech. During his multiple campaign speeches in Las Vegas, he repeated the same talking points with minor changes, mostly pandering to specific audiences. But even with this preparation, he struggled to keep his thoughts in order, leading to moments of confusion and incoherence.
This is particularly concerning when considering the important decisions a president has to make and the need for clear and concise communication. In the past, Biden's tendency to make up stories and talk to dead people has been dismissed as just another "Joe being Joe" moment. But when he's potentially talking to dead world leaders in his speeches, it raises serious questions about his grasp on reality.
Additionally, Biden's claim of telling NATO leaders that "America is back" is not only pompous but also begs the question of what he believes he is returning to. During his time as vice president, the U.S. faced numerous foreign policy challenges and Biden's role in those decisions has been called into question. It's not a strong message for someone who claims to have a record of leadership and foreign policy experience.

In the midst of all this confusion and incoherence, Biden is also pushing for policies that could potentially sleepwalk the U.S. into World War III. His hawkish stance towards Russia and his evident desire to re-enter the Iran Nuclear Deal has raised concerns about his ability to handle delicate international relationships without causing further tensions.
With the presidential election just around the corner, these incidents have made many question whether Biden is fit to hold the highest office in the country. As the leader of the free world, the U.S. needs someone who is mentally and physically capable, especially in a time of global crisis. Biden's continuous gaffes and moments of confusion have certainly not instilled confidence in voters.
For his part, Biden has dismissed these concerns and has maintained that he is fully capable and up for the job. However, his recent performances and the increasing frequency of his confusing and incoherent remarks have raised valid concerns that cannot be ignored. As voters head to the polls, they will have to decide if they are willing to take a chance on someone who seems to be struggling to maintain coherence on the campaign trail.
